Funded Activity Summary
William Blackstone: Life and Works. The life and works of William Blackstone (1723-1780) have been largely overshadowed by his enormously influential Commentaries on the Laws of England. This project will deploy new evidence to explore Blackstone's elusive personal life and diverse public roles, as academic activist and administrator, architect, historian, law reformer, legislator, linguist, literary critic and scholar, politician and judge. Contextualising Blackstone within the rapidly developing scholarship of the British Enlightenment, the project's outcomes will include the first ever full-length scholarly biography, together with annotated editions of his largely unpublished correspondence and hitherto unexamined architectural writings.Funded Activity Details
