Description:
"I was entranced at every stage of this book. The author uses 'law and literature' to stunning new effect. He is supremely well informed, but writes accessibly. His intricate knowledge of history, literature, and law is a marvel. The Mirror of Justice will be a major work and will be a fountainhead for further writing and scholarship."--Daniel J. Kornstein, practicing attorney and author of Kill All the Lawyers: Shakespeare's Legal Appeal
"The Mirror of Justice is an excellent book, crammed with an astounding amount of knowledge, highly illuminating in its literary analyses, as well as on issues of the history of juridical theory."--Virgil Nemoianu, The Catholic University of America
