Reviews

Common Precedents exemplifies the best practice in law and literature scholarship. Ayelet Ben-Yishai productively engages critical approaches from both fields while attending to the distinctive histories and forms of legal and literary texts. She brings previously ignored law reports into conversation with literary criticism, and her erudite discussions of legal matters contribute significantly to criticism on Victorian realist fiction. Review 19 Common Precedents is a fascinating study of the form and substance of the formation of social convention. It's lucid, informative, and offers some truly brilliant readings. Elaine Freedgood, author of The Ideas in Things: Fugitive Meaning in the Victorian Novel
