 Frederic William Maitland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frederic William Maitland (May 28, 1850 - December 19, 1906) was an English jurist and historian.
He was the son of John Gorham Maitland, and was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, being bracketed at the head of the moral sciences tripos of 1872, and winning a Whewell scholarship for international law.
He was called to the bar (Lincoln's Inn) in 1876, and became a competent equity lawyer and conveyancer, but finally devoted himself to comparative jurisprudence and especially the history of English law.

 §21. Frederic William Maitland. II. Historians, Biographers and Political Orators. Vol. 14. The Victorian Age, ...
Maitland did not claim to be a palaeographer; but he taught himself by teaching others, and came to be esteemed an expert on MSS.
Much controversy followed, and Maitland briefly reverted to the subject in the course of a very judicious contribution to The Cambridge Modern History 34 entitled “The Anglican Settlement and the Scottish Reformation.” His Rede lecture (1901) entitled English Law and the Renaissance, with its humorous half-outlook on the future, will not easily be forgotten.
Maitland, who during part of his life was librarian at Lambeth, in an early work on the Albigenses and Waldenses (1832), treated the pretensions of Joseph Milner’s Church History with much contempt, and, in later publications, attacked both him and Foxe, the author of The Book of Martyrs.

 AHA Information: Robert Livingston Schuyler Presidential Address (1951)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Maitland’s achievement seems all the more remarkable in that he took no interest in philology for its own sake and that his work on the Year Books was done in the closing years of his life, under the severe handicap of illness and enforced absences from England.
Maitland’s clear and steady perception of this need in historiography and his fidelity to the liberating and therapeutic principle of historical-mindedness were, it seems to me, the most distinguishing factors in his greatness as a historian.
Maitland did not employ the vocabulary of present-day semantics, which is not strange since the term itself was only beginning to come into English usage as the name of a theory, or science, of meaning toward the close of his life.

 Norman F. Cantor, Inventing the Middle Ages
The book covers the lives of twenty great medieval scholars, from legal specialists like Frederic William Maitland, to popular historians like Johan Huizinga, to the two most widely-read medievalists, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.
Comparing the fiction of Lord Dunsany or William Morris to that of J.R.R. Tolkien or C.S. Lewis, though only a few decades separate their work, shows the dichotomy between the 19th and the 20th century conceptions of the Middle Ages.
Accessible to the scholar and amateur alike, the book is a useful and entertaining resource for filling in the historical context for how and why we portray medieval Europe today.

The subject of English village communities was specially studied by Frederic Seebohm, who died in 1912.
So far back as 1867, he had first become known to students of English history by an attractive volume entitled The Oxford Reformers of 1498—Colet, Erasmus and More—which renders full justice to Colet’s share in the renascence movement on the basis of the letters of his whole-hearted friend and admirer Erasmus.

The silence was broken by Alfred (871-901), and then, for a century and a half we have laws from almost every king: from Edward, Aethelstan, Edmund, Edgar, Aethelred and Cnut.
The age of the capitularies begins with Alfred, and in some sort it never ends, for William the Conqueror and Henry I. take up the tale1.
Whether in the days of the Confessor, whom a perverse, though explicable, tradition honoured as a preeminent law-giver, we were not on the verge of an age without legislation, an age which would but too faithfully reproduce some bad features of the Frankish decadence, is a question that is not easily answered.
