Addressing the influential analysis of law and literature, this book offers a fresh perspective on their intricate relationship. The law and literature movement, which has gained widespread prominence in the last decades of the twentieth and the first decades of the twenty-first centuries, has brought forth centuries of new and valuable knowledge and understanding to the research and teaching of law.
Most of the knowledge and insights generated by this movement revolve around two central themes: a thematic overlap between legal and literary discourses, suggesting that they address the same moral concerns, or a rhetorical, semiotic, or general linguistic comparability or 'sameness between them, imputing to both the same or very similar narrative structures.
The Literary Exception and the Rule of Law recognizes the wealth of knowledge generated by this approach to the relationship between law and literature and acknowledges its debt to this genre of scholarship. Nonetheless, it also proposes a different approach to law and literary studies: one that emphasizes the irreducible difference between law and literature. This approach is based on a series of revealing phenomenological inquiries that aim to shed light on the unique and distinct roles that the discourses of law and literature play in the sustenance of relatively stable legal cultures.
This important rethinking of the relationship between law and literature will appeal to scholars and students of legal theory, jurisprudence, philosophy, politics, and literary theory. It offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of the complex interplay between law and literature and their respective roles in shaping societies
in the development of legal cultures and societies. By exploring the differences and similarities between these two discursive domains, this book provides a framework for a more nuanced and comprehensive analysis of the complex relationship between law and literature.
