‘This Encyclopedia is wonderfully versatile. Many of its scholarly entries serve as primers on the key principles and analytic tools for understanding the rich interactions between legal thinking and writing and literary and rhetorical forms. Others exhibit dazzling creativity in identifying the catalytic relationships between law literature as sources of insight into all manner of social, political, and economic issues,placing them in a richly generative cultural context. Overall, this is an indispensable guide to the capacious world of law and the Humanities.’
