F.A, Mann (1907-1991): Shaping the Development of English, German, European and International Law
Modern and Contemporary History
Final Report Abstract
This project traces the life and legacy of Frederick Alexander ("Francis") Mann (1907-1991), a German-Jewish legal scholar who moved to London in 1933 fleeing persecution in Germany and became one of the most influential jurists of the 20th century. The aim of this interdisciplinary project was to make the extensive written legacy of FA Mann accessible to scholars in order to develop a new understanding of how Mann has had a lasting influence on the development of English, German, European and international law to the present day. The impact of Mann's work, and therefore the scope of this project, spans several areas of law - including the law of money, conflict of laws, international law, the law of arbitration, and the transnationalisation of law. Given Mann's importance as an intellectual figure in the German-Jewish diaspora, this project also made an important contribution to German-Jewish studies through a study of his life and times. The project combined two elements: The first focused on Mann's biography and a historical study of his network. The second element focused on the substantive areas of law.
