Steven Wilf’s latest examination of American legal history, Law’s Imagined Republic: Popular Politics and Criminal Justice, tells the story of the “untidy beginnings” of American law with a focus on how legal language became intertwined with politics leading up to and after the American Revolution. “Wilf reconstructs the intertextual ways Americans from the 1760s through the 1790s read law…as they thought about how they might construct their own legal system in a new republic,” says the publisher.

“Law’s Imagined Republic is brilliant, original legal-cultural history, told with lucidity and grace.”
