In this unique volume, Roger Brownsword provides a thoughtful overview of the principal themes of the law of contract. He explores the context of the recent development of contract law, and considers the many changes the law has undergone given the ever-evolving nature of English law. This accessible text brings Brownsword's expert commentary to a wider readership, and has been fully updated and revised to include recent issues and cases, including the Europeanization of contract law and the

case.

Readership: Suitable as supplementary reading for LLB students studying contract law. The text does not map directly onto courses as it discusses the themes surrounding the development of contract law, and the context is which it is evolving, rather than any substantive law. It will therefore be supplementary or pre-course background reading.
