The Road from Runnymede

Magna Carta and Constitutionalism in America

Omschrijving

In The Road from Runnymede Professor Howard probes the impact of Magna Carta on the ordering of society and the liberty of the individual. Poignantly, the author relates how the Magna Carta has served as a potent device, repeatedly invoked to shield individual freedom from arbitrary government within an orderly framework.... The Road from Runnymede is a valuable addition to the body of material written about Magna Carta. - American Business Law Journal [Howard] has given the idea of Magna Carta a kind of personal history, followed its changing fortunes, sensed both its frailty and its capacity to endure, and perceived in its generalized and abstract nature the potential for great growth.... He has made a welcome contribution to the literature of constitutionalism. - Virginia Law Review The Road from Runnymede is engagingly written and will appeal to laymen and lawyers. Students of public address will find this a brilliant synthesis merging rhetorical criticism and constitutional history. - Quarterly Journal of Speech
