Invention of Suspicion - Law and Mimesis in Shakespeare and Renaissance Drama

Zusatztext Hutsonâs own sophisticated critical discourse is a combination of the empirical and the theoretical, and each of her insights is an incitement to further thought. Klappentext Lorna Hutson argues that changes in the English justice system in the sixteenth century towards greater participation (by JPs and jurors) had a decisive impact on English Renaissance drama. Her nuanced and closely researched book sheds new light on much of what we take for granted about character and plot in Shakespearean drama.
