The Domesday Book And Beyond: Three Essays In The Early History Of England by Frederic Maitland is a collection of three essays that provide a detailed analysis of the early history of England. The first essay focuses on the Domesday Book, a survey of England conducted in 1086 by William the Conqueror, which provides a wealth of information about the country's land ownership, taxation, and social structure. Maitland examines the significance of the Domesday Book and its impact on the development of English law and society.The second essay explores the origins of English law, tracing its roots back to the Anglo-Saxon period and examining how it evolved over time. Maitland discusses the role of the king, the development of the jury system, and the emergence of common law.The final essay in the collection examines the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 and its aftermath. Maitland analyzes the impact of the conquest on English society and law, and discusses the ways in which the Normans adapted to English customs and traditions.Overall, The Domesday Book And Beyond is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the early history of England, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the country's legal and social systems and the forces that shaped them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
