Reception

Resolutions must have provided an important resource to the legal profession, and legal commentators cited the treatise well into the eighteenth century.76 The Lawes Resolutions remained in print for at least 25 years, although no new editions were issued. Quotations from the text are also nearly ubiquitous in recent articles discussing the legal status of the early modern Englishwoman. The most significant analysis of the treatise is Prest’s “Law and Women’s Rights”, which investigates the authorship, subject matter and intended audience of the work in great detail. Prest’s article provided an invaluable resource in the preparation of this introduction.

The treatise has been reprinted twice since its original publication, both times in facsimile as part of Garland Publishing’s series, Classics of English Legal History in the Modern Era (1978), and Theatrum Orbis Terrarum’s series, The English Experience (1979).

This facsimile of The Lawes Resolutions takes as its photographic copy text the very fine copy at The British Library. The following libraries likewise own copies: Bodleian Library, University of Oxford; Cambridge University Library; St. John’s College Library, Oxford; Marsh’s Library, Dublin; National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh; Folger Shakespeare Library; Edinburgh University Library; Henry E. Huntington Library; Harvard University Law Library; Columbia University Library; Newberry Library; Boston Public Library; Los Angeles County Law Library; Stanford University Law Library; Library of Congress; University of California Law Library; Yale University Library; New York University Law Library; University of Pennsylvania Library; and Chapin Library, Williams College.
