About this book

A Life of H. L. A. Hart: The Nightmare and the Noble Dream by Lacey, Nicola. paperback edition. ISBN: 8580000944532.

To generations of lawyers, H. L. A. Hart is known as the twentieth centurys greatest legal philosopher. While his scholarship revolutionized the study of law, as a social commentator he gave intellectual impetus to the liberalizing of society in the 1960s. But behind his public success, Hart struggled with demons. His Jewish background, ambivalent sexuality, and unconventional marriage all fuelled his insecurity; allegations of espionage, though immediately quashed, nearly destroyed him. Nicola Laceys biography explores the forces that shaped an extraordinary life.
