The Crown and Its Records

Reviews / Votes

Taylor's work offers a meticulous exploration of the English archives' role in shaping constitutional debates during a century of political turmoil. Taylor demonstrates that archives were far more than static repositories: their custodianship and accessibility intertwined with the broader currents of early modern political history. Therefore, the book stands as an essential contribution to the historiography of both English constitutionalism and archival studies. (Rocco Giurato in forum historiae iuris , 2.7.2025)
