This article proposes a new interpretation of several works by the poet and playwright George Chapman, in light of Chapman’s evident familiarity with the figure, and the writings, of the jurist Edward Coke. The article first examines Chapman’s Chabot as a topical dramatization of Coke’s removal from office and disgrace in 1616–17, then proceeding to a consideration of the complex influence of Coke’s jurisprudence – especially his writings and rulings on mitior sensus – on Chapman’s career as poet and translator, on his views of the law and of the ancient constitution, and on his efforts at self-defence against multiple accusations of libel and slander
