Broken trusts: cy pre?s, fiction, and the limits of intention; Fictions of justice: testamentary intention and the illegitimate heir. 330 $aFocusing on the rhetoric of the last will and testament, Cathrine O. Frank examines novels alongside actual wills, legal manuals, case law, and contemporary accounts of wills in periodicals. Her analysis of works by such authors as Emily Bronte?, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, and John Galsworthy shows how these related discourses competed to structure a social order based on the self-determining individual's relationship to a community and its commodified culture. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLaw and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aWills$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aWills in literature 606 $aInheritance and succession in literature 606 $aInheritance and succession$zGreat Britain$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLaw and literature$xHistory. 615 0$aWills$xHistory. 615 0$aWills in literature. 615 0$aInheritance and succession in literature. 615 0$aInheritance and succession$xHistory. 676 $a823/.8093554 700 $aFrank$b Cathrine O.$01708334 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815033503321 996 $aLaw, literature, and the transmission of culture in England, 1837-1925$94097249 997 $aUNINA
