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. 517 3 $aLiterature & Legal Discourse 606 $aLegal stories, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEquity$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aDiscourse analysis, Literary 606 $aEthics in literature 606 $aLaw and literature 615 0$aLegal stories, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEquity$xHistory. 615 0$aDiscourse analysis, Literary. 615 0$aEthics in literature. 615 0$aLaw and literature. 676 $a823.009/355 700 $aPolloczek$b Dieter$01048945 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455078903321 996 $aLiterature and legal discourse$92477579 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04550nam 22007335 450 001 9910457476403321 005 20210114062317.0 010 $a1-283-21202-1 010 $a9786613212023 010 $a0-8122-0330-5 024 7 $a10.9783/9780812203301 035 $a(CKB)2550000000050865 035 $a(OCoLC)759158174 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10491892 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000537872 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11965806 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000537872 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10554184 035 $a(PQKB)10603600 035 $a(DE-B1597)449174 035 $a(OCoLC)979753703 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780812203301 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3441435 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000050865 100 $a20190708d2011 fg 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aIncest and Agency in Elizabeth's England /$fMaureen Quilligan 210 1$aPhiladelphia : $cUniversity of Pennsylvania Press, $d[2011] 210 4$dİ2005 215 $a1 online resource (290 p.) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a0-8122-1905-8 327 $t Frontmatter -- $tContents -- $t1.

Nor is it coincidental that Mary Wroth, author of the first sonnet cycle and prose romance by a woman printed in English, described in these an endogamous, if not legally incestuous, illegitimate relationship with her first cousin. Sir Philip Sidney and his sister, the Countess of Pembroke, translated the psalms together, and after his death she finished his work by revising it for publication; the two were the subject of rumors of incest. Isabella Whitney cast one of her most important long poems as a fictive legacy to her brother, arguably because such a relationship resonated with the power of endogamous female agency. Elizabeth Carey's closet drama about Mariam, the wife of Herod, spends important energy on the tie between sister and brother. Quilligan also reads male-authored meditations on the relationship between incest and female agency and sees a far different Cordelia, Britomart, and Eve from what traditional scholarship has heretofore envisioned.Incest and Agency in Elizabeth's England makes a signal contribution to the conversation about female agency in the early modern period. While contemporary anthropological theory deeply informs her understanding of why some Renaissance women writers wrote as they did, Quilligan offers an important corrective to modern theorizing that is grounded in the historical texts themselves. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM$2bisac 606 $aWomen Authors$2bisac 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$zEngland 606 $aIncest in literature$xHistory$y16th century$zEngland 606 $aFeminism and literature$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aWomen and literature 606 $aEnglish$2HILCC 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aEnglish Literature$2HILCC 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM 615 7$aWomen Authors 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aIncest in literature$xHistory 615 0$aFeminism and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature 615 7$aEnglish 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 615 7$aEnglish Literature 676 $a820.93552 700 $aQuilligan$b Maureen, $0154406 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457476403321 996 $aIncest and Agency in Elizabeth's England$92451251 997 $aUNINA
