Reihe: Literatur und Recht

This book aims to contribute to an understanding of the processes in which law and literature combine in conceptualizing Europe. This can take place with regard to important national and local issues of wider significance, or in the establishment of connections between European nations, but also far beyond the confines of Europe, where European concepts of law and literature have had cultural effects.
