Cross-Examinations of Law and Literature: Cooper, Hawthorne, Stowe, and Melville - Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture
Thomas, Brook (University of California, Irvine)
In Cross Examinations of Law and Literature Brook Thomas uses legal thought and legal practice as a lens through which to read some of the important fictions of antebellum America. The lens reflects both ways, and we learn as much about the literature in the context of contemporary legal concerns as we do about the legal ideologies that the fiction subverts or reveals.
