Charles Dickens as a Legal Historian

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the intersection of literature and law, Holdsworth argues that Charles Dickens' novels serve as valuable historical sources on English legal systems. He specifically analyzes how "Bleak House" reveals the complexities of the Court of Chancery and how "Pickwick Papers" sheds light on common law procedures. The insights presented in this work stem from lectures delivered at Yale Law School in 1927, emphasizing the relevance of Dickens' narratives to the understanding of legal institutions.
