Law and literature have been two of the most powerful discourses in
the construction of social reality. The relationship between the
two has emerged as a vital area of study, as literary
representation has proved immensely influential in framing popular
understanding of law. In Fiction and the Law: Legal Discourse in
Victorian and Modernist Literature Kieran Dolin examines the
dialectical interplay between legal discourse and the novel in the
century between Walter Scott and E. M. Forster, the period when the
institution of the law was undergoing radical reform and the novel
was at the peak of its cultural power. Dolin's comprehensive study
argues that this cultural power is attributable in part to the
novel's critical engagement with the law. His study draws on legal
and literary theory to trace this important convergence of
disciplines in a series of canonical Victorian and Modernist texts.
