After its heyday in the 1970s and 1980s, many wondered whether the
law and literature movement would retain vitality. This collection
of essays, featuring twenty-two prominent scholars from literature
departments as well as law schools, showcases the vibrancy of
recent work in the field while highlighting its many new
directions. New Directions in Law and Literature furnishes an
overview of where the field has been, its recent past, and its
potential futures. Some of the essays examine the methodological
choices that have affected the field; among these are concern for
globalization, the integration of approaches from history and
political theory, the application of new theoretical models from
affect studies and queer theory, and expansion beyond text to
performance and the image. Others grapple with particular
intersections between law and literature, whether in copyright law,
competing visions of alternatives to marriage, or the role of
ornament in the law's construction of racialized bodies. The volume
is designed to be a course book that is accessible to
undergraduates and law students as well as relevant to academics
with an interest in law and the humanities. The essays are
simultaneously intended to be introductory and addressed to experts
in law and literature. More than any other existing book in the
field, New Directions furnishes a guide to the most exciting new
work in law and literature while also situating that work within
more established debates and conversations.
