Course Description

Considers the intersection of law and literature from an historical as well as a philosophical perspective. How are legal practices and the rhetorical logic that is associated with law represented in particular works of literature? How do these practices and systems of logic teach people to separate fact from fiction? And how does the narrative and representational logic of literature inform the law? These questions are addressed through a series of historically specific focal points that demonstrate the shared terrain of literary and legal discourse.
