The interdisciplinary series Law & Literature takes a systematic look at the correlation
between literature and the law. The studies presented in this series analyze the complex
interrelation between two cultural spheres which are not only at the basis of Western Culture
and Society but share in a common focus on texts. Bringing together contributions by jurists
historians of law legal philosophers and specialists in literary and cultural studies this
series reflects a trend in current inter- and transdisciplinary research which has recently
shown rapid growth both in Europe and the United States.
