Or does it render itself socially irrelevant? These questions are at the heart of Richard A. Cosgrove's history of jurisprudence in England. Cosgrove's account begins with the emergence of the positivist belief that jurisprudence can solve the truly important social issues in the day and leads us through the gradual divorce of legal theory from legal history. Legal theory in the twentieth century argues Cosgrove, has become narrow and abstract, irrelevant to the daily practice of the law. Contemporary theory, ever anxious to debunk elitism, ironically has become elitist itself. Cosgrove outlines can escape from this trap: jursprudence must return to its interdisciplinary roots and drawn upon economics, politics and sociology. In shhort, theory and practice must be recombined. Cosgrove charts the history of English jurisprudence through its key figures: William Blackstone, Jeremy Bentham, John Austin, Henry MAine, Thomas Erskine Holland, and H.L.A. Hart. Through his careful, insightful scholarship and unpretentious prose, Cosgrove distinguishes the contributions of these theorist and clarifies their general move toward specialization. 4a1.Jurisprudence 4a2.Law-Philosophy 4a3.Law-Great Britain-History  a06893/MKRi-P/XII-2007  a05814/MKRI-P/IX-2008  a06893/MKRi-P/XII-2007  a05814/MKRI-P/IX-2008
