Book Synopsis


Trade Review
Bob Cover was and remains the dominant voice of his generation among legal scholars. These essays, each one magnificent in itself, are, when taken together, even more important. The wisdom they impart is forever." —Guido Calabresi, Dean and Sterling Professor of Law, Yale University

"Robert Cover drew his sources for the authority of law —for its violence, but also for its paideic potential— from the structuring stories that spark our communal imaginations. Literally until the day of his untimely death, his irreplaceably restless spirit was binding itself with the pages of the Midrash, of The Brothers Karamazov, of Billy Budd, Sailor. It is for us now to work also with these--Bob Cover's stories." —Richard Weisberg, Benjamin N. Cardozo Law School, Yeshiva University

"The writings of Robert Cover were usually provocative, sometimes exasperating, but always relevant. In his last years, he concentrated on Jewish sources as well as mystical and Messianic thought. This collection of his articles is a thesaurus of some of his finest writings." —Robert F. Drinan, S.J., Georgetown University Law Center
