Book Synopsis
English law underwent transformation in sixteenth century, in response to the Reformation. This book shows how Renaissance writers engaged practical and conceptual dynamics of jurisdiction, both as a subject for critical investigation and as a frame for articulating literature's sense of itself.

Trade Review
"This is a work of enormous erudition, enviable rigor, and considerable consequence. A Power to Do Justice offers a new model of law and literature, and it will act as a humanizing presence within jurisprudence for many years to come." - Peter Goodrich, Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University"
