Existing work has argued that literature provides an imaginary forum in which legal ideals and practices may be tested. In Literature and Legal Discourse: Equity and Ethics from Sterne to Conrad Dieter Polloczek develops this idea by comparing the notion of equity, or ethics, in fiction with its legal equivalent. He shows how the novel, with its increasing social scope and formal sophistication, provided a means of transmitting, questioning and refining society's traditions, values and modes of self-questioning. Polloczek analyses the links between actual legal fictions like substituted judgements, notions of equity, literary tropes and the construction and representation of social bonds through sentiment, philanthropy and marginalisation. Pollozcek's study is both theoretical and historical, covering a period that extends from the eighteenth century to the modernist period, and texts from Sterne, Dickens, Bentham and Conrad.Literature & Legal DiscourseLegal stories, EnglishHistory and criticismEnglish fictionHistory and criticismEquityGreat BritainHistoryDiscourse analysis, LiteraryEthics in literatureLaw and literatureLegal stories, EnglishHistory and criticism.English fictionHistory and criticism.EquityHistory.Discourse analysis, Literary.Ethics in literature.Law and literature.823.009/355Polloczek Dieter1844600UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910963045203321Literature and legal discourse4427468UNINA
