Law and Literature
Current Legal Issues Volume 2

 

Edited by Michael Freeman and Andrew Lewis






Description
 
  • Second volume in the series whose sister publication Current Legal Problems is very well known and highly regarded
  • Interdisciplinary with a wide range of material covering law, history, literature, and philosophy
  • Lively case-studies that are international in breadth
  • The most comprehensive collection on law and literature in Britain
Law and Literature , the second volume in the Current Legal Issues series, is a comprehensive and provocative treatment of an exciting new area that will stimulate and enlighten anyone interested in law as it appears in literature. Future volumes will include such subjects such as law and medicine and law and religion.

Law is literature but it also appears frequently in literature. The trial itself has features in common with literature, and law and literature both require interpretation. Literature may be constrained by the law and the law of defamation or blasphemy as, for example, the Salman Rushdie affair so vividly illustrates. All of these wide-ranging topics of relating law to literature are explored in this state of the art volume written by leading thinkers from both sides of the Atlantic.

Texts analysed range from drama to novels to film and musical performance and interpretation to the Bible. Trials dissected include the Eichmann and M'Naughten cases and treason and witchcraft trials.

The range of subjects includes legal ethics, punishment, responsibility, colonialism, violence, and feminism.

Readership: This book will be of general interest to all Law academics and students. It will be of especial interest to scholars concerned with the relationship of Law and Literature, philosophers, historians, and critics of literature and literacy.
