Description
Summary:"In Law's Interior, Kevin M. Crotty draws on several important literary works to offer a new model of the relation between citizens and their laws, one that emphasizes the power of law to shape citizens and to foster - or discourage - their autonomy. Crotty maintains that citizens are "inside" the law - they are the law's interior. Literature, he finds, can be relevant to law by emphasizing the connections between law and the world around it - a stance that corrects the tendency of legal theory to treat law as a separate, autonomous entity."--Jacket.
