DOI: 6 Stubbs, Maitland, and Constitutional History JAMES CAMPBELL In the nineteenth century historical study played a role which it had never played before. Consciousness of historic pasts, discovered or contrived, was intrinsic to nationalisms, creative or destructive. The era of nationalisms was also that in which university education of secular élites was new in scale and significance. Consideration of nineteenth-century academic history therefore has some special interest. The two great men with whom this essay is concerned dominated the study of English medieval history. William Stubbs was a founding father. Very many students of medieval England can trace their intellectual descent from him. He and his works were very important in the establishment of medieval history as a subject for study in British universities. His younger contemporary Frederic William Maitland was the outstanding historian of English law, and his work commanded, and still commands, the greatest admiration, not only for its learning but also for the lucidity of its bril- liance. Both scholars owed much to German scholarship. Their debt was part of an Anglo-German intellectual rela- tionship in which the study and understanding of history, not least of constitutional history, mattered a lot. The ways in which Stubbs and Maitland differed in their approaches to constitutional history are indices not only to generational change but also to contrasting intellectual traditions. Stubbs (1829-1901) 1 produced all his major historical 1 W. Stubbs, The Constitutional History ofEngland in its Origin and Development, 3 vols. (Oxford, 1874-8). The final edn. was the 6th (1897). Reference is commonly made to the 'Library Edition' of 1880, and all references below are to this edn. Full bibliographies of his published works are in W. A. Shaw, A Bibliography of the 100 JAMES CAMPBELL works before the age of 59, when he became a bishop. The major contribution from his years as Regius Professor at Oxford (1866-84) was his Constitutional History of England in its Origin and Development (1873-8). Maitland2 was born in 1850 and died at the age of 56. The brilliant flow of his books began in 1884 and reached a climax in 1895-8, when he published three works of fundamental and lasting impor- tance. Among these was History of English Law before the Time of Edward I, central to the theme of the present essay.3 Also most germane is A Constitutional History of England, which is the text oflectures given at Cambridge in 1887 and 1888, not intended for publication, but published posthumously.4 What is, or was, meant by the term 'constitutional history'? The Oxford English Dictionary is misleading in quot- ing no instance of its use before 1841. Maitland was right in suggesting that the term may have been coined by Henry Hallam when he used it in the title of his The Constitutional History ofEngland from the Accession of Henry VII to the Death of George II, published in 1827. Maitland commented that since Hallam there had been a 'steady tendency ... to widen the scope of the term in one direction, to narrow it in another' .5 What he meant is that it was widened in the sense of making Histmical Works ofDr. Creighton . .. , Dr. Stubbs . ..

Stubbs, Maitland, and Constitutional History 101 it an increasingly comprehensive account of institutions; but, on the other hand, narrowed by excluding from it any detailed account of the conflicts which had made the consti- tution. Hallam's own introduction indicates another poten- tial ambiguity in the term. He said: 'The title which I have adopted appears to exclude all matters not referable to the state of government, or what is loosely denominated the constitution.'6 Later, explaining his intention to deal with the established church, he said that this certainly has to do with 'the history of our constitution in the large sense of the word'. 7 He may have had in mind here constitution in the sense in which one might have spoken of an individual's constitution, meaning general make-up, determinative char- acter. In this context 'constitutional history' could have a content and weight exceeding that of legal and institutional history. This potential duality in constitutional history contributed largely to its double intellectual significance in Victorian and earlier twentieth-century England. By 1900 modern history had become a subject of commanding importance in British universities. Thus at Oxford it had by the decade 1900 to 1909 become the most popular subject, taken by 23.4 per cent of undergraduates; and as late as 1948 the relevant figure was 26.6 per cent.8 As history became a predominant subject in university education towards the end of the nineteenth century, constitutional history was treated as its backbone. When the Oxford History School was founded enormous emphasis was laid upon the absolute necessity of its including a large element of constitutional history. This was regarded as giving 'a strength and dignity to the School which it might otherwise lack' .9 The reasons for 6 Hallam, Constitutional History, i, p. v.

The inde- pendent School of Modern History was founded in 1870.) 102 JAMES CAMPBELL this stress were significantly pedagogical. The subject was valued because it required the mastery of complicated data; it was protective against dissolution into mere loose discourse; and it had morally instructive force in providing training in judgement, honest judgement. Yet looked at more widely, constitutional history could be the subject or theme which focused, almost melded, many of the principal intellectual movements of the age. Undergraduate educa- tion in the later nineteenth century was seen much more in a context of social purpose and of moral improvement than is nowadays the case. Particularly in Oxford and Cambridge constitutional history was at the heart of a syllabus and a system consciously directed towards the mental and moral improvement of an élite.10 In both regards the central figure was Stubbs. The Constitutional History became the textbook of all textbooks. J. R. Tanner, writing at Cambridge in rgor, said, referring to a somewhat earlier period, that 'to read the first volume of Stubbs was necessary to salvation; to read the second was greatly to be desired; the third was reserved for the ambi- tious student who sought to accumulate merit by unnatural austerities-but between them they covered the whole ground'. 11 When G. M. Trevelyan was a schoolboy at Harrow (the earliest 'History specialist' there), he wrote out a full analysis of all three volumes of Stubbs as a counterbalance to 'brighter authors'.

  • Exile and Acculturation: Refugee Historians Since the Second World War
    ANTOON DE BAETS Exile and Acculturation: Refugee Historians since the Second World War two forms, intended and unin- tended. Within the domain of historical writing, both exist. A famous example of intended historiographical contact was the arrival B - of the German historian Ludwig Riess ( ), a student of Leopold von Ranke, in Japan. On the recommendation of the director of the bureau of historiography, Shigeno Yasutsugu, Riess began to lecture at the Im- perial University (renamed Tokyo Imperial University in ) in . He spoke about the Rankean method with its emphasis on facts and critical, document- and evidence-based history. At his suggestion, Shigeno founded the Historical Society of Japan and the Journal of Historical Scholarship. Riess influenced an entire generation of Japanese historians, including Shigeno himself and Kume Kunitake, then well known for their demystification of entire areas of Japanese history.1 However, this famous case of planned acculturation has less well-known aspects. First, Riess, who was a Jew and originally a specialist in English history, went to Japan, among other reasons, possibly on account of the anti-Semitism and Anglo- phobia characteristic of large parts of the German academy at the time. Only in did he return from Japan to become an associate professor at the University of Berlin.2 Second, Riess and other German historians (such as Ernst Bernheim, whose Lehrbuch der historischen Methode und der Geschichtsphilosophie, published in , was popular in Japan) were influ- ential only because Japanese historical methodology focused before their arrival on the explication of documents.3 Riess’s legacy had unexpected I am very grateful to Georg Iggers, Shula Marks, Natalie Nicora, Claire Boonzaaijer, and Anna Udo for their helpful criticism.

  • History Extension
    HISTORY EXTENSION Who Is The Historian? The question of who should write history has consistently been debated and challenged throughout history. The idea that history should be written by the elite was previously agreed upon as it was the elite who were to ultimately be reading and studying these said histories. However, such beliefs changed when people such as the Annales began to write their own histories for their own audiences and history itself became a universal subject with the help of Ranke. Leopold von Ranke was an influential German historian and educator who is frequently considered as one of the founders of modern source-based history. He, according to Warren, “he not only came up with a new historical technique based on rigid objectivity but also single-handedly created the history profession ...” Ranke’s scholarly method and way of teaching had a great influence on Western historiography and it was in his preface to his work that he stated his often quoted dictum: that he was writing history wie es eigentlich gewesen – as it happened. Ranke was born on the 21st December 1795 in the small town of Wiehe in Thuringia, Germany into an old Lutheran theologian family. During this time, Germany was not a nation-state but was a loose grouping of over three hundred separate states which owed allegiance on paper to the Holy Roman Emperor and in particularly, Thuringia, was a part of the Kingdom of Saxony but was awarded to Prussia by the peace terms of 1815 at the close of the Napoleonic wars. He wanted history to be a universal and scientific subject that would spread throughout schools so that everybody and not just ‘gentlemen’ could both study it and record it.

  • Historical Reflections on the Emergence and Development of Administrative Law Bernardo Sordi
    1. Révolution, Rechtsstaat and the Rule of Law: historical reflections on the emergence and development of administrative law Bernardo Sordi The historical origins and evolution of administrative law continues to be a controversial issue. While some scholars identify a strong continuity between pre-modern and con- temporary reality (Mestre 1985; Craig 2015), other interpretations emphasize a funda- mental rift in the eighteenth century: with the displacement of the Ancien Régime by the French Revolution, jurists for the first time defined a conception of ‘administrative law,’ distinguishing administrative bodies, functions and duties from those of the judiciary (Mannori-Sordi, 2001; 2009). This chapter pursues the second interpretation. Without denying certain hidden conti- nuities, it explores the discontinuity of language, terminology, and concepts that was most clearly marked between the end of the eighteenth century and the start of the nineteenth. It is worth noting that the terms administration publique and bureaucratie make their appearance in France around the mid-eighteenth century; the term droit administratif is confirmed only in the first years of the nineteenth century. With the end of the eighteenth century, a complex comparative legal history began. The terminologies and the contents of the ‘administrative’ legal universe were not identical across jurisdictions, nor did the different national experiences take place with the same chronology. The descriptive terms Rechtsstaat, État de droit, and Rule of Law were coined in legal- political thought to describe the new structures of public power. These concepts are not immediately equivalent to each other, and for a long time they maintained important traits of individuality.

    Zur Erinnerung an Otto von Gierke. Gedächtnisrede gehalten vor der Juristischen Gesellschaft zu Berlin im Vereinshaus Deutscher Ingenieure und Architekten am 28. November 1921 ^ von Ulrich Stutz. l) Für den Druck war die Rede ursprünglich nicht bestimmt. Namentlich an dieser Stelle beabsichtigte ich eigentlich, Gierbes mehr in der Art zu gedenken, wie ich es seinerzeit bei Heinrich Brunner und Richard Schröder getan hatte. Denn dessen bin ich mir wohl be- wußt, daß es etwas anderes ist, einen Toten inmitten seiner engeren Gemeinde als deren Sprecher durch das Wort zu ehren, ein anderes wiederum, Fachgenossen in aller Welt durch die Schrift über ein Gelehrtenleben und seinen Ertrag zu berichten. Doch nicht wenige, die die Rede gehört, und so manche, die von ihr vernommen hatten, wünschten umgekehrt, Gierkes wissenschaftliche Persönlichkeit der Nachwelt so überliefert zu sehen, wie ich sie unter dem frischen Ein- drucke seines Hingangs mit ihnen gesehen und gezeichnet hatte. Diesen Wünschen konnte ich mich schließlich nicht versagen. So gebe ich, da ein: bis in eundem heutzutage noch weniger als früher angeht, die ßede, die an anderer Stelle zu veröffentlichen unter den gegen- wärtigen Verhältnissen ausgeschlossen ist, hier anstatt eines Nachrufs und zwar, abgesehen von einigen wenigen Berichtigungen und Ergän- zungen, unverändert. Gierke selbst hat es in ähnlichen Fällen ebenso gehalten. Und wenn wir auch stolz darauf sind, daß wir vergangenes Jahr in dieser Zeitschrift das Letzte mitteilen konnten, was er neben- her für den Druck geschrieben hat, so hatte er doch nie ein beson- deres Verhältnis zu unserem Unternehmen, an dem er auch nur ganz gelegentlich mitarbeitete, sodaß sich eine Würdigung vom Standpunkt der Redaktion aus in diesem Falle erübrigt.

Börzel & Sonja Grimm · Steven Heydemann Seyoum Mesfin & Abdeta Dribssa Beyene Nancy E. Lindborg & J. Joseph Hewitt Richard Gowan & Stephen John Stedman Sumit Ganguly · Jean-Marie Guéhenno The Last English Civil War Francis Fukuyama Abstract: This essay examines why England experienced a civil war every fifty years from the Norman Conquest up until the Glorious Revolution of 1688–1689, and was completely stable after that point. The reasons had to do with, first, the slow accumulation of law and respect for the law that had occurred by the seventeenth century, and second, with the emergence of a strong English state and sense of nation- al identity by the end of the Tudor period. This suggests that normative factors are very important in cre- ating stable settlements. Rational choice explanations for such outcomes assert that stalemated conflicts will lead parties to accept second- or third-best outcomes, but English history, as well as more recent expe- riences, suggests that stability requires normative change as well. In establishing the rule of law, the first five centuries are always the hardest. –Gordon Brown Following the Norman Conquest in 1066, England experienced a civil war roughly every fifty years. These conflicts, often extremely bloody, continued up until the great Civil War of the 1640s.

  • DOES HISTORY HAVE a FUTURE? an Inquiry Into History As Research
    DOES HISTORY HAVE A FUTURE? An Inquiry into History as Research Ronald Alan Sulman Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2008 School of Historical Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE Produced on acid-free paper ABSTRACT This thesis explores the question of history’s future as a research discipline in the academy and the question of the discipline’s function in ‘pure’ inquiry. Central to the notion of research is the notion of discovery of new knowledge, but what constitutes new historical knowledge rather than simply more historical information is not clear. As the idea of research (which is understood to mean the discovery and creation of new knowledge) is central to the idea of the modern university, the future of history as a research discipline in the research university would seem to depend on the discipline being clear on its research function. Further complicating resolution of this question is the fact that the funding of research is informed by science and technology paradigms where research is defined as ‘pure basic research’, ‘strategic basic research’, ‘applied research’, and ‘experimental development’. Curiously, what these classifications mean for the humanities generally and history in particular, remains unexamined—despite the fact that professional survival depends on the academic convincing sceptical funders of the relevance of humanist research. Do historians do basic research? If basic research is inquiry at the edge of understanding, how, and by whom, is the edge defined? In the first decades of the University of Berlin—the institution that formed the model for the modern research-university—the edge was defined through philosophy and history.

  • The New Zealand Case in a Global Context
    R P Boast QC * LAND, CUSTOM, AND IDEOLOGY 1870–1940: THE NEW ZEALAND CASE IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT ABSTRACT This article explores the ways in which ideologies relating to property and tenures changed in the later 19th and early 20th centuries. In the later 19th century utilitarian and classical liberal ideologies favouring individ- ualist and anti-corporate policies began to lose ground to new approaches favouring collectivism and cultural relativism. This trend manifested itself in a variety of ways and in a number of different disciplines, but the most important shift occurred with the rise of relativist anthropol- ogy associated in particular with Franz Boas. The changing climate of opinion had significant effects in countries as diverse as the United States, Mexico, and New Zealand. The article takes a comparativist approach and examines developments in a number of countries, while paying particular attention to the New Zealand case. New Zealand was a country which had already developed a complex body of statutory law relating to indigenous tenures by 1900. It is argued that although the impacts of the new trends in anthropology and other disciplines were mixed in New Zealand, they were nevertheless significant and are shown most clearly in the legisla- tion relating to Māori land development enacted in 1929 and associated in particular with Sir Ᾱpirana Ngata. Various policy developments in New Zealand in the 1930s, however, meant that Ngata’s vision for Māori landowners was only partially fulfilled. More generally the article is written from the perspective that it is important for developments in New Zealand to be understood in their international and intellectual contexts.

  • The History of a History Man; Or, the Twentieth Century Viewed from a Safe Distance
    Retrospectives | 2 Spring 2013 ! The History of a History Man; Or, the Twentieth Century viewed from a safe distance. The memoirs of Patrick Collinson. Patrick Collinson. Woodbridge, Suffolk: Boydell Press, 2011. pp. 224. ISBN 9781843836278. Adam Timmins* Patrick Collinson passed away only a month or two after these mem- oirs were published; so one is loath to give them a critical review. And yet my conclusion after reading The History of a History Man was to wonder how such a good historian could have written such a dis- appointing retrospective? Clearly, good historians do not necessarily translate into good memoirists. Where to begin then? The ultimate problem with this book is that if you are interested in Collinson the ‘History Man’, in the sense of his activities as a historian, there is not much here to capture the attention. Nearly two thirds of the book cover the years 1929-61, with the remaining fifty years of Collinson’s life compressed into the concluding fifty or so pages. The first one hundred and fifty pages of the book cover Collinson’s youth; his National Service; his spells at Cambridge and University College London, and his spell teaching at the University of Khartoum. One comes away from these chapters feeling that although the author travelled to some fascinating places and met some similarly fascinating characters, he utterly fails to con- vey any of this to the reader; in the hands of someone like Richard Hoggart, the material contained here would have made for a mouth- watering memoir. But all too often The History of a History Man de- scends into what Geoffrey Elton might have referred to as “one damn thing after another.” At the start of Chapter 13 Collinson intones that “The reader may be relived to find that the narrative at this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! * Adam Timmins is a graduate student at Loughborough University.

    English (and European) Royal Charters: from Reading to reading Nicholas Vincent University of East Anglia What follows was first delivered as a lecture ‘off the cuff’ in November 2018, in circumstances rather different from those in which, writing this in January 2021, I now set down an extended text. In the intervening two and a bit years, Brexit has come, and gone. The Covid virus has come, but shows no immediate sign of going. When I lectured in 2018, although the edition of The Letters and Charters of King Henry II was in press, the publishers were still working to produce proofs. These were eventually released in December 2019, ensuring that I spent the entire period of Covid lockdown, from March to December 2020 correcting and re-correcting 4,200 proof pages. The first 3,200 of these were published, in six stout volumes, at the end of December 2020.1 A seventh volume, of indexes, should appear in the spring of 2021, leaving an eighth volume, the ‘Introduction’, for completion and publication later this year. All told, these eight volumes assemble an edition of 4,640 items, derived from 286 distinct archival repositories: the largest such assembly of materials ever gathered for a twelfth-century king not just of England but of any other realm, European or otherwise. In a lecture delivered at the University of Reading, as a part of a symposium intended to honour one of Reading’s more distinguished former professors, I shall begin with the debt that I and the edition owe to Professor Sir James (henceforth ‘Jim’) Holt.2 It was Jim, working from Reading in the early 1970s, who struck the spark from which this great bonfire of the vanities was lit.
