520 | |a A new framework for examining the relationship between individual and cultural trauma, literary texts and common lawPerforms transformative interdisciplinary readings of a range of literary and legal texts across a 200-year periodUncovers the connections between the individual and collective memories of law and crime that affected the development of the law itselfDraws on three case studies – adultery, child criminality and rape testimony – to demonstrate the impact of cultural narrative on legal development in the 18th and 19th centuriesErin Sheley shows how the symbolic relationship between adultery and threatened English sovereignty created a quasi-criminal legal discourse surrounding the private wrong of adultery; how the literary ‘construction’ of childhood by 19th-century fairy tale writers affected the development of the juvenile justice system; and how evolving rules about rape victim 'character evidence' functioned as epistemological components of volatile national identity. Readings include:Charles Brockden Brown's Wieland and OrmondThomas Hardy's Tess of the d'UrbervillesCharles Kingsley's The Water-BabiesGeorge MacDonald's The Lost PrincessAlfred, Lord Tennyson's Idylls of the KingCharlotte Brontë's Jane EyreHenry Fielding's The Modern Husband Sir Walter Scott's Heart of MidlothianSamuel Richardson's Clarissa | ||
