| Abstract
|
:
|
Among Western literatures, only the German-speaking countries can boast a list of world-class writers such as Goethe, Hoffmann, Kleist, Kafka, Schmitt, and Schlink who were trained as legal scholars. This book traces a history of the sometimes fraught relationship between German law and literature in the modern period, from Grimm to Schmitt.
