Nineteenth-century America witnessed some of the most important and
fruitful areas of intersection between the law and humanities, as
people began to realize that the law, formerly confined to courts
and lawyers, might also find expression in a variety of ostensibly
non-legal areas such as painting, poetry, fiction, and sculpture.
Bringing together leading researchers from law schools and
humanities departments, this Companion touches on regulatory,
statutory, and common law in nineteenth-century America and
encompasses judges, lawyers, legislators, litigants, and the
institutions they inhabited (courts, firms, prisons). It will serve
as a reference for specific information on a variety of law- and
humanities-related topics as well as a guide to understanding how
the two disciplines developed in tandem in the long nineteenth
century.
Reflections on Sentiment not only addresses current scholarly
interest in feeling and affect but also provides an occasion to
celebrate the career of George Starr, who, in more than fifty years
of incisive scholarship and committed teaching, haselucidated the
work of Daniel Defoe and the role of sentimentalism in what was
once reductively termed an age of reason and realism. Due to the
critique Starr spearheaded, scholars today can approach with
greater assurance the complex interplay of reason and emotion,
thought and sensibility, science and feeling, rationality and
enthusiasm, judgment and wit, as well as forethought and instinct,
as these shaped the scientific, religious, political, social,
literary, and cultural revolutions of the Enlightenment. Indeed,
contributors to this anthology take inspiration from Starr's work
to shed new light on Enlightenment thought and sociocultural
formations generally, offering fresh interpretations of a period in
which Reflection and Sentiment circulated, mutually influenced each
other, and contended equally for cultural attention. In nine
separate essays they explore: the ways sentiment and sentimentalism
inflect the moral and ideological ambit of Enlightenment
discourses; the sociopolitics of religious debate; the issues
promoted by women writers, by gender and family relations; the
artistic and rhetorical uses of lived language; the impacts of
cultural developments on novelistic form; and the wide shifts in
the literary marketplace. Deploying tools advanced by new work in
animal studies, gender criticism, media analysis, genre studies,
the new formalism, and ethical inquiry, and enabled by the power of
digitization and new databases, the authors of this volume explain
how and to what ends denizens of the Enlightenment were touched and
moved.
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.

Oxford's variorum edition of William Blackstone's seminal treatise
on the common law of England and Wales offers the definitive
account of the Commentaries' development in a modern format. For
the first time it is possible to trace the evolution of English law
and Blackstone's thought through the eight editions of Blackstone's
lifetime, and the authorial corrections of the posthumous ninth
edition. Introductions by the general editor and the volume editors
set the Commentaries in their historical context, examining
Blackstone's distinctive view of the common law, and editorial
notes throughout the four volumes assist the modern reader in
understanding this key text in the Anglo-American common law
tradition. Property law is the subject of Book II, the second and
longest volume of Blackstone's Commentaries. His lucid exposition
covers feudalism and its history, real estate and the forms of
tenure that a land-owner may have, and personal property, including
the new kinds of intangible property that were developing in
Blackstone's era, such as negotiable instruments and intellectual
property.
