This groundbreaking work, featuring contributions from renowned scholars in history, law, and politics, delves into the evolution of the United Kingdom's constitution from Anglo-Saxon times to the present. It explores the profound role that the constitution plays in the creation, exercise, and control of public power.

In Volume One, titled "Exploring the Constitution," the authors offer a multi-faceted perspective on the constitution and its historical trajectory. The chapters delve into the historical actors and institutions that have shaped the constitution, as well as the transformative processes that have shaped it over time. These discussions provide a historically sensitive understanding of the constitution and its evolution.

In Volume Two, titled "The Changing Constitution," the authors examine the development of the constitution from the departure of the Romans to the present day and beyond. This comprehensive history spans centuries and offers a detailed account of the key events, legal developments, and political struggles that have shaped the constitution. By adopting a cross-disciplinary approach, the book incorporates the latest legal, political, and historical scholarship on the constitution, filling a significant gap in the literature on the subject.

This groundbreaking work not only contributes to our understanding of the United Kingdom's constitution but also has broader implications for political thought and British history. It sheds light on the enduring principles and values that have guided the nation's constitutional development, and it provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. As such, it is a must-read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the study of constitutional law and politics.
