Jan-Melissa Schramm, who is both a lawyer and a literary critic, argues that authors of fiction created a style of literary advocacy that both imitated, and reacted against, the example of their story-telling counterparts of the criminal Bar, and traces the ongoing debate over rules of evidence, eye-witness testimony and codes of ethical conduct that helped shape Victorian realism as a narrative form. 410 0$aCambridge studies in nineteenth-century literature and culture ;$v27. 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLaw and literature 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEvidence, Criminal, in literature 606 $aWitnesses in literature 606 $aTheology in literature 606 $aTrials in literature 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLaw and literature. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEvidence, Criminal, in literature. 615 0$aWitnesses in literature. 615 0$aTheology in literature. 615 0$aTrials in literature. 615 0$aNarration (Rhetoric) 676 $a820.9/355 700 $aSchramm$b Jan-Melissa$0903561 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455655103321 996 $aTestimony and advocacy in Victorian law, literature, and theology$92019857 997 $aUNINA
