Jason Hawke Legal History Books sku-15606984 Hardcover
No rating yet(0 ratings)Jason Hawke's Writing Authority (sku-15606984) is a hardcover in Legal History Books. Hawke argues that political and economic changes in early Greece led elites to put laws in writing to manage competition for status and power. He examines the rise of the polis, population growth, markets and changing forms of wealth in the eighth and seventh centuries B.C.E.
The book questions how much popular or communal involvement there was in the earliest Greek legislation. Drawing on anthropology, legal studies and sociology, it discusses Homeric legal culture, literacy and authority, and the governance of the polis through the early sixth century B.C.E. It is written for readers of Greek history, classics and early legal history.
