ICYMI:

Solon and Thespis: Law and Theater in the English Renaissance (Dennis Kezar, ed., University of Notre Dame Press, 2007).

This volume contains contributions by literary critics and historians who demonstrate that theater and law were not simply relevant to each other in the early modern period; they explore the physical spaces in which early modern law and drama were performed, the social and imaginative practices that energized such spaces, and the rhetorical patterns that make the two institutions far less discrete and far more collaborative than has previously been recognized.
