- Double-weighted statement
- This book is submitted for consideration as a double-weighted output. This extended piece of research analyses five Jacobean plays by Shakespeare, displaying detailed knowledge of the primary sources, together with deeper explorations of Jacobean social and legal culture. Demonstrating that the arts of law and drama developed and learned symbiotically, it provides complex analysis of Shakespeare and the legal milieu of the period together with contexutalisation of law, literature and history. Offering new insights into the political and legal undertones of Shakespeare’s drama and variety of Shakespeare’s relationship with law, this book expands understanding of both Shakespeare and legal history.
