Synopsis
What are the connections between law and literature The judges, lawyers and scholars who contribute the 32 chapters in this volume range over subject matter as diverse as witches in 19th-century horror fiction, defamation, censorship, the rhetoric in 4th-century Roman statutes and the real story in Donoghue v Stevenson.

Review
A lawyer without history or literature is a mechanic, a mere working mason; if he possesses some knowledge of these he may venture to call himself an architect. - Sir Walter Scott, Guy Mannering So what remains of Sir Walter Scott's thesis ...? A good deal, theoretically. The contributions I have touched on (and there are many more of equal merit) show that in every age law reform is often prompted by a writer such as Dickens. ... Judges ... must often fill the gaps in statutes and constitutions ... The sources they draw on will probably include history and literature, and the present volume is a valuable aid in understanding the way in which such sources are put to work. Nicholas Hasluck, Australian Book Review
