Law as Performance
Theatricality, Spectatorship, and the Making of Law in Ancient, Medieval, and Early Modern Europe
Inhalt
Explores the history of legal theatricality from antiquity to the eighteenth-century. It recovers a long tradition of jurisprudential thought about law as a form of theatre, a tradition that ancient, medieval, early modern, and later theorists transmitted across centuries, continually elaborating and reworking it to suit changing conditions.
