This volume offers a long overdue appraisal of the dynamic
interactions between Roman law and Latin literature. Despite there
being periods of massive tectonic shifts in the legal and literary
landscapes, the Republic and Empire of Rome have not until now been
the focus of interdisciplinary study in this field. This volume
brings vital new material to the attention of the law and
literature movement. An interdisciplinary approach is at the heart
of this volume: specialists in Roman law rarely engage in
constructive dialogue with specialists in Latin literature and vice
versa but this volume bridges that divide. It shows how literary
scholars are eager to examine the importance of law in literature
or the juridical nature of Latin literature, while Romanists are
ready to embrace the interactions between literary and legal
discourse. This collection capitalizes on the opportunity to open a
fruitful dialogue between scholars of Latin literature and Roman
law and thus makes a major, much-needed contribution to the growing
field of law and literature.
