British Law and Literature in the Long Eighteenth Century
The law underwent significant changes in eighteenth-century Britain as jurists and legislators adapted doctrines to fit the needs of an increasingly commercial, industrial, and imperial society. This volume reveals how legal developments of the period shaped and were shaped by imaginative writing. Reading canonical and lesserknown texts from the Restoration to the Romantic era, the chapters explore literary engagements with libel law, plague law,…
Reading researcher emotions in law and emotion scholarship
The article offers alternative ways to frame the relationship between authorial emotions and methodology in law and emotion research using strategies from literary criticism and theory. Drawing on a brief history of literary criticism and theory, on the work of John Law in After Method , and on critical strategies used by literary critics, the article suggests that expressions of authorial emotion in law and emotion scholarship are always constru…
Research Handbook on Law and Emotion
Property, as a legal construct, denotes rights over ‘things’, with ownership as the ultimate legal entitlement. While contemporary scholarship posits a number of different theoretical perspectives, two things stand out: labelling something as ‘property’ and someone as its ‘owner’ carries a certain potency; and property speaks to complex relational ties and social interactions. Though studies show that most people have a “mental toolbox of basic p…
Introduction to Interdisciplinary Forum
This introduction discusses the interdisciplinary nature of the forum, the history and theory of constitutional patriotism, and the various critiques that have been applied to it. It explains how the essays in the forum advance theories of constitutional patriotism by considering it in particular historical contexts and by examining specific emotions such as love, resentment and sympathy that may be associated with it. It also discusses the metho…
Mixed Emotions’
This essay explores the value of the ‘mixed emotions’ of love and resentment for constitutional patriotism through a close reading of the Declaration of Independence set in the context of first, the history of resentment, and secondly, theories of justice. After introducing the conceptual framework through a discussion of mixed emotions and constitutional patriotism, the essay turns to a discussion of the Declaration as a ‘sticky’ emotional objec…
Juridical “Joy”
Legal anecdotes serve to bind populations to law through creating an affective, even affectionate, relationship between law and its communities. An analysis of a legal anecdote involving Justice John Holt (1642–1710) and witchcraft demonstrates how anecdotes can soothe public anxieties over rapid modernization. This particular anecdote asserts the primacy of the literate over the oral, high culture over popular culture, science over superstition,…
Authors and other Criminals
In this essay on eighteenth-century authorship, Kathryn Temple sketches a history of authorship from the perspective of the cultural, regional, and national conflicts that led to modern authorship's emergence. Arguing that the figure of the modern author arose in the mid- to late-eighteenth century, not from an uncontested common moral and ethical center, but from a maelstrom of conflicting practices and standards emanating from an amazingly vari…
Scandal Nation
Kathryn Temple argues that eighteenth-century Grub Street scandals involving print piracy, forgery, and copyright violation played a crucial role in the formation of British identity. Britain's expanding print culture demanded new ways of thinking about business and art. In this environment, print scandals functioned as sites where national identity could be contested even as it was being formed." "Temple draws upon cases involving Samuel Richard…
