Hope springs eternal (gb): An Introduction to the Work of James Boyd White (Amerstdam Up) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

This book provides a survey of the Law and Literature movement responsible for kindling new interest in this field, and explains the various theoretical perspectives that contributed to its development. Searching discussion is also devoted to contemporary debates, both within Law and Literature itself and with other interdisciplinary fields such as Law and Economics. The author elucidates these issues by analyzing in detail the work of the American jurist and classicist James Boyd White, founder of Law and Literature. White was convinced that the common ground between law and literature should form the basis of legal thought in our present-day pluralistic societies. His view of law as the art of creating bonds between members of a society has far-reaching implications for both theory and practice.
