Summary:

"The interdisciplinary series Law & Literature systematically examines correlations between literature and the law. The studies presented in this series analyze the complex interrelations between two cultural spheres that have not only contributed to the basis of Western culture and society but also share a common focus on texts. Bringing together contributions by jurists, historians of law, legal philosophers, and specialists in literary and cultural studies, this series reflects a rapidly growing area of inter- and transdisciplinary research in Europe as well in as the United States"-- Provided by publisher.
