Historian F. W. Maitland observed that legal documents are the best—indeed, often the only—available evidence about the economic and social history of a given period. Why, then, has it taken so long for historians to focus systematically on the civil (noncriminal) law of early modern (sixteenth- to eighteenth-century) England? Maitland offered one reason: the subject requires researchers to “master an extremely formal system of pleading and procedure.” Yet the complexities that confront those who would study such materials are not wholly different from those recently surmounted by historians of criminal law in England during the same period. Another possible explanation for historians’ neglect of the subject is their
widespread assumption
that most people in early modern England had little contact with civil law. If that were so, the history of legal matters would be of little relevance to general historical scholarship. But recent research suggests that civil litigation during the period involved artisans, merchants, professionals, shopkeepers, and farmers, and not merely a narrow, propertied, male elite. Moreover, the later sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries saw an extraordinary explosion in civil litigation by both women and men, making this the most litigious era in English history on a per capita basis.
The passage suggests that the history of criminal law in early modern England differs from the history of civil law during that same period in that the history of criminal law
选项
A、is of more intellectual interest to historians and their readers
B、has been studied more thoroughly by historians
C、is more relevant to general social history
D、involves the study of a larger proportion of the population
E、does not require the mastery of an extremely formal system of procedures
答案
B
解析
根据第四句可知,刑法和民法一样难,但是刑法没有被忽略,因此选项B正确。A项文中未提及。C项是否和普遍的社会历史相关是在原因二中讨论的,本题定位原因一,因此定位错误。D项文中未提及。E项表述相反。
