Sir Henry Sumner Maine Books
Sir Henry James Sumner Maine was an English comparative jurist and historian, celebrated for his seminal thesis that law and society evolved "from status to contract." His work illuminates the progression from ancient times, where individuals were bound by ascribed status and traditional groups, to the modern era's emphasis on autonomous agents free to enter into agreements and associations. This foundational concept positions Maine as a forefather of modern sociology of law.
