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. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLaw and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aLaw and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aLaw in literature 606 $aJustice in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLaw and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLaw and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLaw in literature. 615 0$aJustice in literature. 676 $a820.9/3554 702 $aBeecher$b Donald, 702 $aDeCook$b Travis, 702 $aWallace$b Andrew, 702 $aWilliams$b Grant, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460504103321 996 $aTaking exception to the law$92195687 997 $aUNINA
