This book was released on 1997-02-28 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir John Fortescue CJKB (c.1395–c.1477) was undoubtedly the foremost English political scientist of the fifteenth century. This convenient volume brings together for the first time new editions of his two major works - In Praise of the Laws of England and The Governance of England - with references and suggestions for further reading for the student. In her introduction, Shelley Lockwood presents a clear reassessment of the work of John Fortescue and places these key texts in their historical and intellectual contexts. These works, arguably the earliest in English political thought, were written from the perspective of a self-consciously analytical and highly experienced lawyer and government official during a time of war and political upheaval. They form a coherent argument for justice against tyranny and afford unique insights into the law and governance of fifteenth-century England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Governance of England: Otherwise Called the Difference Between an Absolute and a Limited Monarchy The work here presented to the reader has been three times previously printed; twice, in 1714 and I719 by Mr., afterwards Sir John, fortescue-aland, who ultimately became Lord Fortescue of Credan, and once by Lord Clermont in his edition of the collected works of Fortescue'. Of these editions the two first have become very scarce, while the third is only printed for private circulation. Of all three the value is very much impaired by the fact that the text is based on a comparatively late manuscript; while no attempt has ever been made to bring out the historical significance and relations of the treatise. It is hoped therefore that the appearance of the present edition, which aims at supplying these deficiencies, will not be considered to be without justification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive biography of arguably the most important political thinker of fifteenth-century England. Sir John Fortescue was arguably the most important political thinker of fifteenth-century England. Rising from relative obscurity to become Chief Justice of the King's Bench he progressively assumed a political role as a partisanof the Lancastrian cause during the Wars of the Roses. As Chancellor-in-exile to Henry VI he wrote on the lawful succession and in praise of the common law of England. Ultimately making his peace with the Yorkists in 1471, he presented Edward IV with The Governance of England, a treatise that set the tone for debates about the extent of royal and parliamentary power for centuries to come. Demonstrating how England's traditional laws, customs and parliament could ensure that monarchs safeguarded the rights and property of their subjects, his views on these institutions continue to resonate with contemporary debates about England's relationship with Europe and the definition of national identity. This book provides the first comprehensive biography of Fortescue. It reassesses his career and thought, challenging earlier views about his life, and discusses his work as a lawyer and political thinkerin the light of modern scholarship. MARGARET KEKEWICH is a former Senior Lecturer in History at the Open University.

Download or read book Religion and Governance in England s Emerging Colonial Empire 1601 1698 written by Haig Z. Smith and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2021-11-03 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book explores the role of religion in England's overseas companies and the formation of English governmental identity abroad in the seventeenth century. Drawing on research into the Virginia, East India, Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, New England and Levant Companies, it offers a comparative global assessment of the inextricable links between the formation of English overseas government and various models of religious governance across England's emerging colonial empire. While these approaches to governance varied from company to company, each sought to regulate the behaviour of their personnel, as well as the numerous communities and faiths which fell within their jurisdiction. This book provides a crucial reassessment of the seventeenth-century foundations of British imperial governance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Governance of England A re-touched portrait is seldom a satisfactory production. It is a fact I have bad to keep in mind in preparing for the press this new edition of a book first published more than nine years ago. Such fidelity to the original as the sketch may hare possessed when executed might be lost in the attempt to make it a register of all the changes which time has wrought upon the features of the subject. The task would be one of peculiar difficulty at the present moment; for my revised edition is called for, as it happens, while the structure of our polity is undergoing a process of reconstruction still incomplete. With the ultimate form and powers of the Upper Chamber in suspense, and with the revolution in the government of Ireland impending but undecided, it would be futile to pass a definite judgment on transitory developments which must eventually assume a more definite and tangible shape. And so, while drawing some fresh illustrations and arguments from the events of the past few years, I prefer to leave this book as, in the main, an account of the "working constitution" of the United Kingdom in the opening decade of the twentieth century.

This book will have lessons for those examining higher education on a comparative/international basis.
