What are the connections between law and literature? The judges, lawyers and scholars who contribute the 32 chapters in this volume range over subject matter as diverse as witches in 19th-century horror fiction, defamation, censorship, the rhetoric in 4th-century Roman statutes and the real story in Donoghue v Stevenson.
