Review Quotes:
In The Road from Runnymede Professor Howard probes the impact of Magna Carta on the ordering of society and the liberty of the individual. Poignantly, the author relates how the Magna Carta has served as a potent device, repeatedly invoked to shield individual freedom from arbitrary government within an orderly framework.... The Road from Runnymede is a valuable addition to the body of material written about Magna Carta.
