The Routledge Research Companion to Law and Humanities in Nineteenth-Century America

Bringing together leading researchers in law and humanities scholarship, this volume focuses on nineteenth-century America, a period when people began to realize that the law was not confined to courts and lawyers, but also found expression in areas such as painting, poetry, fiction, and sculpture. It will serve as a reference for specific information on law- and humanities-related topics and as a guide to understanding how the two disciplines developed in tandem during the period.
