With reform came reaction and revolution and this was as true of the law as it was of literature, art and technology. The age of Great Exhibitions and Great Reform Acts was also the age of newly systemized police forces, courts and prisons. \u003ci\u003eA Cultural History of Law in the Age of Reform \u003c\/i\u003epresents an overview of the period with a focus on human stories located in the crush between legal formality and social reform: the newly uniformed police, criminal mugshots, judge and jury, the shame of child labor, and the need for neighborliness in the crowded urban and increasingly industrial landscapes of Europe and the United States. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing upon a wealth of visual and textual sources, \u003ci\u003eA Cultural History of Law in the Age of Reform \u003c\/i\u003epresents essays that examine key cultural case studies of the period on the themes of justice, constitution, codes, agreements, arguments, property and possession, wrongs, and the legal profession.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Ward\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350368695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350368699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.60w x 0.50d","brand":"Ian Ward","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072660173055,"sku":"9781350368699","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b06c639-08a2-4d58-91da-73a20e6017c5.jpg?v=1685443266","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-cultural-history-of-law-ian-ward-9781350368699","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
