Beskrivning
In a period in which some three hundred crimes were designated as felonies and punishable by death, a consideration of crime must inevitably lead to a preoccupation with consequences. Crime and Consequence in Early Modern Literature and Law analyses contemporary literary and legal texts, including drama, poetry and commentaries on the law, and considers how 'proportionable' punishment was imagined in the early modern period and how the possibility of justice miscarried might influence that imagining.

Recensioner i media

With this book, Hudson joins a rich and growing interdisciplinary conversation on law and literature in early modern England, artfully engaging with scholarship in history, literary studies, theory, and law... Crime and Consequence is a model contribution to this field, gracefully weaving together analysis of a broad range of scholarly interpretations and a rich tapestry of early modern sources, including court decisions, sermons, pamphlets, legal tomes, and numerous dramatic works.
