Law and justice in the modern novel: the concept of responsibility

TL;DRAbstract

There is no doubt that modern literature has been more extensively used by law and literature scholars than any other literary source. It does not, then, represent a particularly new perspective. There are, of course, certain contemporary ‘modern’ texts which are fresh, and I will look at a couple of these in the final two chapters of this book. However, in this chapter I want briefly to provide an example of how modern literature can be used as a means of accessing certain key concepts in contemporary critical theory and critical legal scholarship. The concept which I shall consider in this chapter is responsibility.
