This project will investigate Western- and East-European texts relevant to law-and-literature research from a comparative angle. Analyses will include foundational narratives of European constitutions as well as the appropriation of historiography as a legal resource. Moments in which literature becomes a medium and means of defense against legalisms (Poland, Russia, Ukraine) come into the purview of this study as much as the comparison between early Western and Eastern European crime fiction as forms of legal acculturation. This constitutes a pioneerapplication of the law-and-literature paradigm to East European contexts.
