Summary: The main title of this excellent volume-Shakespeare and the law- is too modest. The subtitle - a conversation among disciplines and professions - is more accurate. A collection of brillant conversationalists, takin law and literature as baseline frames of reference, explores the intersections of literaru texts, jurisprudential coonundrums, problems in the philosophy of language, the imperatives of morality, the abyss of race and gender.
