Publisher's Synopsis
This volume presents major lines of analysis in Law and Literature/Law and Humanities research for both legal and literary scholars. The special emphasis in the volume is on narrative and narration in the law and the law in narrative, a focus due to the context of the series based in the graduate school Factual and Fictional Narration (GRK 1767) in Freiburg, funded by the German Research Foundation. The essays illustrate how narratives impact on legal thinking and legal procedures, especially trials; conversely, they show how literary narratives depict legal matters and how novelistic narratives are imbricated in the law.
