Magna Carta by J C Holt
This fully-revised edition of Magna Carta makes available once again the classic account of arguably the most important single document in British history. It will be without question essential reading.
' … a remarkable achievement, combining as it does exact scholarship with a lively and vigorous style … It is its masterly setting of the Great Charter and its place in English history … that makes this book so notable a contribution to the history of political thought in action' Political Science Quarterly
'Professor Holt has written the first full-scale work to place Magna Carta firmly in its historical setting. This scholarly and well-written book will survive to celebrate many an anniversary of its own.' Sunday Telegraph
'It will remain one of the most exciting books to be written on a well-worn theme.' History
'[Holt] has an unrivalled command of the forms of action and the machinery of government. He treads this ground as a master and no one can read his work without a deep respect for the care and accuracy with which he has assembled the details which give a fresh look to one of the most familiar stretches of English history.'
