This book contributes significantly to Law and Literature studies.
Arguing for the political relevance of their work, the editors open
the volume with an introduction that summarizes topical
developments in law enforcement and penal politics including the
'prisonization' of American society and popular support for « no
tolerance approaches to crime. The fourteen essays that follow -
six on trials and eight on prisons - discuss subjects ranging from
the political ramifications of Captain Kidd's trials for piracy to
a reading of South African prison memoirs and include treatments of
prison films, courtroom dramas and works by Dickens, Shakespeare
and Scott. The volume demonstrates powerfully how concepts of
criminality are constructed and how literature participates in, and
sometimes enhances, general discursive traditions of adversarial
litigation and carcerality.
