From canonical poems and plays to crime pamphlets and educational treatises, the essays engage with the relevance and wide appeal of legal questions in order to understand how literature operated in the early modern period.Justice in its many forms - legal, poetic, divine, natural, and customary - is examined through insightful and innovative analyses of a number of texts, including The Merchant of Venice, The Faerie Queene, and Paradise Lost. A major contribution to the growing field of law and literature, this collection offers cultural contexts, interpretive insights, and formal implications for the entire field of English Renaissance culture.English literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismLaw and literatureEnglandHistory16th centuryLaw and literatureEnglandHistory17th centuryLaw in literatureJustice in literatureElectronic books.English literatureHistory and criticism.Law and literatureHistoryLaw and literatureHistoryLaw in literature.Justice in literature.820.9/3554Beecher Donald, DeCook Travis, Wallace Andrew, Williams Grant, MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460504103321Taking exception to the law2195687UNINA01357nam 2200373Ia 450 99638711260331620221102113747.0(CKB)1000000000614210(EEBO)2240943038(OCoLC)9922922500971(EXLCZ)99100000000061421020060505d1554 uy 0engurbn||||a|bb|The boke of Englysshe, and Spanysshe[electronic resource][London] Jmprinted by me Robert Wyer: Dwellynge in S.
