Traces the ways in which changing ideas about criminal sanction were reflected in and engaged with in early modern English societyBroadens the scope of current law and literature debate into the area of consequenceOffers analysis of both major and lesser-known literary texts, including ShakespeareExplores new primary resources on early modern criminal sanctionProvides a new entry point for a wider examination of early modern cultureWill appeal to students, academic specialists and to a more general audience with an interest in history of crimeIn 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.
