Perhaps writers are drawn to the figure of the law because, even as they strive for a personal voice, they recognize that the need to formalize and define plays an equally tyrannical part in literary work.
In this course we shall look at the implications of this paradox for law and for literature: the way the law, for example, as it imposes order, appears to sacrifice individual experience; and the ways fiction struggles against its own kinds of formal domination.
The cases will allow us to look closely at the way our legal system works and to explore how society, through its literature as well as its actions, responds to the principles, practice, and language of that system.
