Books by Bruce A. Kimball

In the early twentieth century, Harvard Law was on the brink of financial and scholarly ruin. Discriminatory, intellectually arid, and nearly broke, the school struggled through World War II. Bruce Kimball and Daniel Coquillette chronicle the downfall and dramatic restoration of HLS as arguably the world's most influential law school.

Based upon the author's twenty-five years of experience leading seminars concerning the history of liberal education, this collection presents a uniquely comprehensive and salient set of documents, ranging from Plato to Martha Nussbaum, while incorporating the neglected portrayal and discussion of women within the history of the liberal arts.
