This examination of the relation between law and drama in
Renaissance England establishes the diversity of their dialogue,
encompassing critique and complicity, comment and analogy, but
argues that the way in which drama addresses legal problems and
dilemmas is nevertheless distinctive. As the resemblance between
law and theatre concerns their formal structures rather than their
methods and aims, an interdisciplinary approach must be alive to
distinctions as well as affinities. Alert to issues of
representation without losing sight of a lived culture of
litigation, this study primarily focuses on early modern
implications of the connection between legal and dramatic evidence,
but expands to address a wider range of issues which stretch the
representational capacities of both courtroom and theatre. The book
does not shy away from drama's composite vision of legal realities
but engages with the fictionality itself as significant, and
negotiates the methodological challenges it posits.
