Cardozo Studies in Law and Literature Fall-Winter, 1990 [antikvár]

In the Next Numbers Volume III, number 1 (Spring, 1991) will provide a diverse group of essays that will take our readers from lOtb century Iceland to a 20th century Algerian courtroom. C.R.B. Dunlop offers a comprehensive survey and analysis of Law and Literature theory and pedagogy. Henry Ordower and Jeffrey L. Slusher discuss one of the earliest and greatest of Law and Literature stories, Njal's Saga. Ernest Simon insightfully furthers the debate on Camus' L'Etranger. John Denvir explores recent theories of "Constitutional Dialogue" by reference, among other texts, to James Joyce's "The Dead." Ill, 1 includes a book review section. We will also publish a section of Prof. Edward de Grazia's forthcoming book Girls Lean Back Everywhere: The Law of Obscenity and the Assault on Genius (Random House: Fall 1991). The section reveals de Grazia's new findings about the strange trial of publisher Sam Roth, whose conviction for sending "obscene" matter through the mails developed into a landmark Supreme Court case (Roth v. U.S., 1957) offering constitutional protection to literature. Our second number in 1991 centers on the theme of "Testimony" in Law and Literature. Among other riveting documents to be examined are the lamentations of the widows of Civitella, an Italian town whose men were slaughtered by the Nazis in June, 1944.
