In this groundbreaking study, Christopher Warren argues that early
modern literary genres were deeply tied to debates about global
legal order and that todayas international law owes many of its
most basic suppositions to early modern literary culture.
Literature and the Law of Nations shows how the separation of
scholarship on law from scholarship on literature has limited the
understanding of international law on both sides. Warren suggests
that both literary and legal scholars have tacitly accepted
tendentious but politically consequential assumptions about whether
international law is areala law. Literature and the Law of Nations
recognizes the specific nature of early modern international law by
showing how major writers of the English Renaissance-including
Shakespeare, Milton, and Hobbes-deployed genres like epic, tragedy,
comedy, tragicomedy, and history to shore up the canonical subjects
and objects of modern international law. Warren demonstrates how
Renaissance literary genres informed modern categories like public
international law, private international law, international legal
personality, and human rights. Students and scholars of Renaissance
literature, intellectual history, the history of international law,
and the history of political thought will find in Literature and
the Law of Nations a rich interdisciplinary argument that
challenges the usual accounts by charting a new literary history of
international law.
