The Law in Cervantes and Shakespeare

Building on her earlier work, Law and Literature, María José Falcón y Tella's new study takes a fresh look at the law in the works of two of the greatest authors in world literature: Cervantes and Shakespeare. In doing so, she examines subjects as wide-ranging as individual rights and freedoms, government and the administration of justice, criminal law, civil law, labor law; commercial law, and the treatment of mental illness, among others.
This original and thought-provoking volume offers readers insight into the law "as" literature and the law "in" literature through the prism of masterpieces such as Don Quixote and Hamlet.
