Writing Law and Speaking Justice in Late Eighteenth-Century Britain Available to Purchase

Miriam L. Wallace is professor of English at New College of Florida and the author of Revolutionary Subjects in the English “Jacobin” Novel (Bucknell, 2009). Her edited collection, Enlightening Romanticism, Romancing Enlightenment: British Fiction 1750–1830 (Ashgate, 2009), explored the productive tensions of reading with self-conscious attention to how scholarly period impacts our scholarship. A participant in the NEH Summer Institute, “The Rule of Law: Legal Studies in the Liberal Arts” (2009), her current project focuses on late-eighteenth century sites of speech or writing that intervene to produce counter-discourses, from contentious legal trials to cross-class ventriloquizing literary genres.
