Jan-Melissa Schramm, "Testimony and Advocacy in Victorian Law, Literature, and Theology"
English | 2000 | pages: 263 | ISBN: 0521771234 | PDF | 1,0 mb
This original and wide-ranging study shows how changing attitudes to evidence, trial and revelation in law and theology had a profound impact on literary narrative in the nineteenth century. Jan-Melissa Schramm, who is both a lawyer and a literary critic, argues that authors of fiction created a style of literary advocacy that both imitated, and reacted against, the example of their story-telling counterparts of the criminal Bar, and traces the ongoing debate over rules of evidence, eye-witness testimony and codes of ethical conduct that helped shape Victorian realism as a narrative form.
