Shakespeare was fascinated by law, which permeated Elizabethan
everyday life. The general impression one derives from the analysis
of many plays by Shakespeare is that of a legal situation in
transformation and of a dynamically changing relation between law
and society, law and the jurisdiction of Renaissance times.
Shakespeare provides the kind of literary supplement that can
better illustrate the legal texts of the sixteenth and early
seventeenth centuries. There was a strong popular participation in
the system of justice, and late sixteenth-century playwrights often
made use of forensic models of narrative. Uncertainty about legal
issues represented a rich potential for causing strong reactions in
the public, especially feelings concerning the resistance to
tyranny. The volume aims at highlighting some of the many legal
perspectives and debates emplotted in Shakespearean plays, also
taking into consideration the many texts that have been produced
during the latest years on law and literature in the Renaissance.
