The publication of Scholars of Tort Law marks the beginning of a long overdue rebalancing of private law scholarship. Instead of concentrating on judicial decisions and academic commentary only for what that commentary says about judicial decisions, the book explores the contributions of scholars of tort law in their own right. The work of a selection of leading scholars of tort law from across the common law world, ranging from Thomas Cooley (1824 1898) to Patrick Atiyah (1931 2018), is addressed by eminent current scholars in the field. The focus of the contributions is on the nature of the work produced by each of the scholars in question, important influences on their work, and the influence which that work in turn had on thinking about tort law. The process of subjecting tort law scholarship to sustained analysis provides new insights into the intellectual development of tort law and reveals the important role played by scholars in that development. By focusing on the work of influential tort scholars, the book serves to emphasise the importance of legal scholarship to the development of the common law more generally.
Industry Reviews
This handsome, fascinating and formidably well-researched volume ... should be essential reading for anyone who teaches tort law ... this volume succeeds splendidly in enabling us to enter into the minds of our great predecessors in thinking about tort law. -- Nicholas J McBride, Pembroke College * Cambridge Law Journal *
[The book] offers much food for thought in terms of how legal scholarship has served to shape and influence the law. -- Mark Wilde, University of Reading * The Journal of Legal History *
