Reviews

In this impressive book, Jennifer Jahner shows the compelling breadth of interpretations afforded by literary readings of English law during its period of critical formation. We can be grateful to this book for setting the standard for future such inquiries, and marking out so many paths of possibility. * Tom Johnson, Studies in the Age of Chaucer, Volume 42, 2020 *
