The Land Agent 1700–1920 Edited by Lowri Ann Rees, Bangor University, Ciarán Reilly, Maynooth University Annie Tindley, Newcastle University Explores the role of land agents in Britain and its imperial territories between 1700 and 1920 This book brings together leading researchers of British and Irish rural history to consider the role of the land agent, or estate manager, in the modern period. Land agents occupy a controversial place in academic historiography as well as popular memory in rural Britain and Ireland. Reviled in social history narratives and fictional accounts, the land agent was one of the most powerful tools in the armoury of the British and Irish landed classes and their territorial, political and social dominance. By unpacking the nature and processes of their power, The Land Agent explores who these men were and what was the wider significance of their roles, thus uncovering a neglected history of British rural society.

Scots Law: https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/scots-law 11 SCOTTISH LEGAL HISTORY SCOTTISH LEGAL HISTORY A History of Scottish Child Protection Law Kenneth McK. Norrie, University of Strathclyde Details how the law and practice of child protection in Scotland has developed, from the Poor Law to GIRFEC • Places the Scottish juvenile court in worldwide perspective • Explores why the juvenile court ideals remain central to the contemporary children’s hearing system in Scotland, dealing with both child offenders and neglected and abused children • Analyses the legislation and explores the parliamentary debates surrounding Acts including the Children Act 1908, the Adoption of Children (Scotland) Act 1930, the Children and Young Persons (Scotland) Acts 1932 and 1937, the Children Act 1948, the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968, the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 and the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 • Preserves many long-forgotten legal and social aims, cases and secondary legislation
Kenneth McK. Norrie traces the assumptions that underlay child protection law at particular periods of time, from its earliest origins to the present day. He identifies the pressures for change – giving a clearer understanding of how and why the contemporary law is designed and operates as it does.
Norrie traces particular issues in legislative detail, including court processes, the changing thresholds for state intervention, the increasing regulation of children’s homes and foster care, the developing rules on corporal punishment and the earlier practice of compulsory emigration to the colonies of children removed from their parents. He also covers the transformation of adoption in detail.
In drawing out key themes and common threads, Norrie sets contemporary developments against their historical context and offers a fuller understanding of child protection law in Scotland.
