In this volume of essays, scholars of the interdisciplinary field
of law and literature write about the role of emotion in English
law and legal theory in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries. The law's claims to reason provided a growing citizenry
that was beginning to establish its rights with an assurance of
fairness and equity. Yet, an investigation of the rational
discourse of the law reveals at its core the processes of emotion,
and a study of literature that engages with the law exposes the
potency of emotion in the practice and understanding of the law.
Examining both legal and literary texts, the authors in this
collection consider the emotion that infuses the law and find that
feeling, sentiment and passion are integral to juridical thought as
well as to specific legislation.
