New Book on the Law in Shakespeare

There's a new book called The Law in Shakespeare (Palgrave Macmillan, 2007) edited by Constance Jordan and Karen Cunningham.

From the book description:

Focusing on a burgeoning area of interest, this new study illustrates relations between legal and theatrical discourses in a range of plays. The essays focus on four general areas of interest to establish the vital connections between early modern drama and law during this seminal period in their professionalization: legal language and its construction of social norms and realities, positive law and the status of nature; the concept of property and its contractual guarantees; and the creation of power and authority under the law.
