Synopsis

This book navigates the multifaceted concept of literary inquiry and its relation to the Court of Probate. Drawing on examples of wills from The Prerogative Court of Canterbury, it sheds light on the intersection of literature and the legal system. The author traces the development of literary research in this context and examines the complexities of accessing historical documents. Through a detailed analysis of court records and regulations, the book explores the evolving attitudes towards literary inquiry within the legal sphere. It highlights the gradual shift from restricted access to the recognition of literature as a valuable tool for historical understanding. The book concludes by emphasizing the significance of making these documents available to researchers, enabling a deeper understanding of our literary heritage and the broader cultural context in which it was created.
