Review:

A wonderfully original and instructive study of what literature has to teach about the law, the methods of legal argument, and the interpretation of statutes and the Constitution...Posner's adversaries are hopelessly outmatched in these arguments, but they are only supporting characters in a larger and more interesting drama--Mr. Posner's own exegesis of the relation of literature to law propounded in a series of arresting, brilliantly interwoven interpretations of dozens of literary works. -- Christopher DeMuth "Wall Street Journal"

Synopsis:

Surveys the field of law and literature, discusses literature with legal themes, and examines the application of literary theory to judicial texts.
