Reflection
Reading Early Colonial Legal History as Bob Gordon’s Student
Claire Priest *
Commenting on Bob Gordon’s early work is a humbling experience that might compare to a composer commenting on early Beethoven or a painter on early Michelangelo. The eloquence of Gordon’s writing is unparalleled. It is an absolute delight to read and enjoy every turn of phrase. Gordon perfectly describes what others can only grasp at.
