Legal Studies

Law and the Humanities: An Introduction brings together a distinguished group of scholars from law schools and an array of the disciplines in the humanities. This book is, at one and the same time, a stock taking both of different national traditions and of the various modes and subjects of law and humanities scholarship.

"This book is to be highly recommended: certainly, for those who find the time to read it, it will broaden the mind, and give lawyers a new insight into their role." --New Law Journal

Despite their apparent separation, law and literature have been closely linked fields throughout history.

The emergence of an interdisciplinary study of law and literature is one of the most exciting theoretical developments taking place in North America and Britain. In Law and Literature: Possibilities and Perspectives Ian Ward explores the educative ambitions of the law and literature movement, and its already established critical, ethical and political potential.
