REPRESENTING ‘MANKIND’S ESCAPE FROM TYRANNY’ -- A LIVELY YET SCHOLARLY APPRECIATION OF MAGNA CARTA

An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers

This is a lively, authoritative and certainly compelling examination of Magna Carta and its enduring impact on British history and world history as well. Published by Third Millennium in association with Lincoln Cathedral, this is a beautiful book with stunning illustrations and engrossing narrative. But more importantly, it is an impressive work of insight and scholarship.

In this eight-hundredth anniversary of Magna Carta, it presents the story of a document which, throughout the centuries, has been an inspiration and a mentor for all those who love liberty and who value justice under the rule of law.

Heading a team of five experts on Magna Carta, the author Nicholas Vincent is Professor of History at the University of East Anglia -- and is also, among his other credentials, a consultant on Magna Carta to the National Archives in Washington DC and joint curator of the British Library’s Magna Carta exhibition 2015.

Reminding us that Magna Carta is the most famous document in the history of England and perhaps the world, he points out that ‘it has been cited in parliamentary, congressional and constitutional debates more frequently than any other text, save only for the Christian Bible.’ In concise and fascinating detail, the book goes on to explain the many reasons why.

The original purpose of the Charter in 2015 was to impose long needed reforms on the corrupt government of King John – and there’s a separate chapter by Professor Vincent on ‘the tyranny of King John’ who certainly was a tyrant with no redeeming qualities.
