Law and Imagination in Troubled Times (eBook, ePUB)

A Legal and Literary Discourse
Redaktion: Mullender, Richard; Mickiewicz, Emilia; Bennett, Thomas D. C.; Nicolini, Matteo

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This collection focuses on how troubled times impact upon the law, the body politic, and the complex interrelationship among them. It centres on how they engage in a dialogue with the imagination and literature, thus triggering an emergent (but thus far underdeveloped) field concerning the 'legal imagination'.
