Excellent- More about Shakespeare's Law
Shakespeare's Law is a critical overview of law and legal issues in Shakespeare's life, career, and works, as well as those that arise from the endless array of activities that happen today in the name of Shakespeare. It argues that Shakespeare's attitudes to law are complex and not always sanguine, and that there exists a deep and perhaps ultimate move beyond law that a lawyer or legal scholar might recognize. The book includes two detailed case studies, as well as a chapter on law in works by Shakespeare's contemporaries, and concludes with a chapter on the law as it relates to Shakespeare today.

Shakespeare's Law is a comprehensive exploration of law and legal issues within the life, career, and works of William Shakespeare, as well as the broader context of activities that bear his name today. Mark Fortier contends that Shakespeare's attitudes towards law are intricate and often nuanced, suggesting a profound and perhaps ultimate movement beyond the traditional understanding of law as recognized by lawyers and legal scholars.
In this insightful book, Fortier delves into the legal themes that permeate Shakespeare's writings, examining issues such as status, inheritance, fraud, property, contract, tort (particularly slander), evidence, crime, political authority, trials, and the relative value of law and justice. He also includes detailed case studies of two of Shakespeare's plays, "The Merchant of Venice" and "Measure for Measure," as well as a chapter that examines law in the works of Shakespeare's contemporaries.
The book's conclusion explores the enduring relevance of Shakespeare's legal insights to contemporary issues, highlighting the continued importance of exploring law in Shakespeare's works, though in sometimes new and innovative ways. Shakespeare's Law serves as a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the intersection of law and literature, offering a fresh perspective on the timeless themes and complexities of the legal world.
