Trade Review
"A probing study of criminal law, punishment, and the narratives that seek to justify or challenge them. Hudson considers crimes such as perjury and counterfeiting, which raise questions about invention and imagination, and examines them in relation to a wide range of legal, literary, and theological works that pose similar questions." -Simon Stern, University of Toronto
