The law has traditionally been regarded as a set of rules and
institutions. In this thoughtful series of essays, James Boyd White
urges a fresh view of the law as an essentially literary,
rhetorical, and ethical activity. Defining and elaborating his
conception, he artfully bridges the fields of jurisprudence,
literature, philosophy, history, and political science. The result,
a new approach that may change the way we perceive the legal
process, will engage not only lawyers and law students but anyone
interested in the relationship between ethics, persuasion, and
community. White's essays, though bound by a common perspective,
are thematically varied. Each of these pieces makes eloquent and
insightful reading. Taken as a whole, they establish, by
triangulation, a position from which they all proceed: a view of
poetry, law, and rhetoric as essentially synonymous. Only when we
perceive the links between these processes, White stresses, can we
begin to unite the concerns of truth, beauty, and justice in a
single field of action and expression.
