Treating legal thought as a variety of political thought, she discusses writers such as Austin, Maitland, Dicey, Laski, Robson, Hart, Griffith, Mitchell and Hayek in the context of both legal doctrine and broader intellectual movements.08iPrint version: z9781107022485 0aCambridge Studies in Constitutional Law ;vno. 4.40uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139136761zCambridge Books Online
