A Critical Introduction To Law And Literature by Kieran Dolin, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Kieran Dolin introduces the interdisciplinary study of law and literature and charts the history of the shifting relations between the two disciplines, from the open affiliation between literature and law in the sixteenth-century Inns of Court to the less visible links of contemporary culture. Each chapter is organised around a famous trial or literary-legal encounter. The wide resonance of such trials illuminates the cultural centrality of law, and the social responsiveness of literature. This book provides an accessible guide to one of the most exciting areas of interdisciplinary scholarship today. | A Critical Introduction To Law And Literature by Kieran Dolin, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
