Lawyer, politician, poet, teacher and architect, William Blackstone was a major figure in 18th century public life, and pivotal in the history of law. Despite the influence of his work, Blackstone the man remains little known. This book, Blackstone's first scholarly biography, sheds light on the life, work, and society of a neglected figure.
