Riassunto

The Inner Temple: A Community of Communities is a unique portrait of the distinctively collegiate life of the Inner Temple, in which every individual has a place, and is also a vivid expression of the spirit, traditions and continuities of the institution as a whole.
Beautifully designed and produced, the volume covers the history, architecture, treasures and estate of the Inn and the Temple Church from the coming of the lawyers in the fourteenth century to the bustling realities of the twenty-first century. Along the way, readers will encounter not just insightful accounts of the teaching and the learning of law down the centuries, but also masques, revels, feasting, poets and playwrights, Dr Johnson (a former resident), Bram Stoker (of Dracula fame) and a distinguished literary heritage extending from Geoffry Chaucer to the creator of the immortal Rumpole of the Bailey.
