Law and Literature: The Irish Case is a collection of fascinating
essays by literary and legal scholars which explore the
intersections between law and literature in Ireland from the
eighteenth century to the present day. Sharing a concern for the
cultural life of law and the legal life of culture, the
contributors shine a light on the ways in which the legal and the
literary have spoken to each other, of each other, and, at times,
for each other, on the island of Ireland in the last three
centuries. Several of the chapters discuss how texts and writers
have found their ways into the law's chambers and contributed to
the development of jurisprudence. The essays in the collection also
reveal the juridical and jurisprudential forces that have shaped
the production and reception of Irish literary culture, revealing
the law's popular reception and its extra-legal afterlives. List of
contributors: Rebecca Anne Barr, Max Barrett, Noreen Doody,
Katherine Ebury, Adam Gearey, Tom Hickey, James Kelly, Colum Kenny,
David Kenny, Heather Laird, Julie Morrissy, Gearoid O'Flaherty,
Virginie Roche-Tiengo, Barry Sheils.
