Editorial Reviews
Brook Thomas, author of Cross-Examinations of Law And Literature, The New Historicism and Other Old-Fashioned Topics, and American Literary Realism and the Failed Promise of Contract
"Literary Criticisms of Law shows what can happen when two shrewd law professors take the time and have the theoretical sophistication to master the wide variety of today's state-of-the-art literary criticism. This absorbing book both maps efforts in the last two decades to understand law as a kind of literature and makes a compelling case for the most productive way to do so. Avoiding the twin traps of radical skepticism and moralizing sentimentality that have snared even some of the best work in the field, Binder and Weisberg demonstrate how law shapes culture and vice versa."
Review
Anthony Julius The Times Literary Supplement : Immensely learned, thorough, and sane.
