A New Book On Law and Literature

Very interesting new book edited by Daniela Carpi and Jeanne Gaakeer, published by DeGruyter, entitled Liminal Discourses: Subliminal Tensions in Law and Literature (Law and Literature; 6). Lots of fascinating essays included, from Cristina Costantini's Representing Law: Narrative Practices, Poetic Devices, Visual Signs and the Aesthetics of the Common Law Mind to Melanie Williams' Liminal Tensions in Public to Private Conceptions of Justice: Nussbaum, Woolf and the Struggle for Identity, to Jeanne Clegg's Moll Flanders, Ordinary's Accounts and Old Bailey Proceedings. Laura Apostoli's Altered Bodies, Fragmented Selves: Reconstructing the Subject in Fay Weldon's The Cloning of Joanna May looks really interesting--well, all the chapters will keep me busy. Here's the rundown.
