==Biography==
Sir William Searle Holdsworth was born in May 1871, the son of a well-known London solicitor, Charles Joseph Holdsworth and his wife Ellen Caroline (née Searle).〔Canadian Bar Association (1923), ''The Canadian Bar Review'', Page 362, (Canadian Bar Association)〕 He was educated at Dulwich College and in 1890 went on to win a History Exhibition from Dulwich College to New College, Oxford.〔(1944) ''The Law Quarterly Review'', (Stevens)〕 He took first-class honours both in History and in Law,〔(1965) ''The Law Journal'', Page 9〕 and second class honours in the BCL (Bachelor of Civil Law, a graduate-law degree.).〔H. G. Hanbury, ‘Holdsworth, Sir William Searle (1871–1944)’, rev. David Ibbetson, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 ;online edn, May 2006 (accessed 21 Nov 2010 )〕
Holdsworth's main work, with a first edition of the first book in 1903, was ''A History of English Law'', gradually expanded to cover everything from Ancient Britain to 1875 over his career. Holdsworth became Professor of Constitutional Law at University College, London (1903 to 1908). In 1922 he became the Vinerian Professor of English Law at Oxford.〔''The Columbia Encyclopedia'', Sixth Edition. Copyright 2007 Columbia University Press〕 In ''Charles Dickens as a Legal Historian'' (1928, repr. 1972), a book version of Holdsworth's Storrs Lectures at Yale Law School, he argued that historians should pay closer attention to the novels of Charles Dickens as source material about the workings of English law and legal institutions; it contains a thoughtful and sensitive analysis of Dickens's novel ''Bleak House'' as an illuminating examination of the Chancery system.〔 In ''Some Makers of English Law'' (Cambridge University Press, 1938), reprinting the Tagore Lectures delivered in 1937-1938 at Calcutta University, Holdsworth offered an overview of the history of English law through biographical studies of key figures in that history. Holdsworth was knighted in 1929 and was appointed as a member of the Order of Merit in 1943.〔( Royal Insight:GREAT BRITONS: CELEBRATING THE CENTENARY OF THE ORDER OF MERIT )〕 He died in 1944. There are portraits of Sir William Holdsworth by Bassano in the National Portrait Gallery,〔(National Portrait Gallery )〕 and his portrait in pastels by E. Plachter can be seen in the Holdsworth Room of St John's College, Oxford.〔
