Soon after publication, the work became an international monument not only to English law, but to universal English concepts of justice and what Blackstone called "the immutable laws of good and evil." Most legal historians regard the 'Commentaries' as a brilliant application of Enlightenment reasoning to English legal history. 'Loving Justice' contends that Blackstone's work extends beyond making sense of English law to invoke emotions such as desire, disgust, sadness, embarrassment, terror, tenderness, and happiness. By enlisting an affective aesthetics to represent English law as just, Blackstone created an evocative poetics of justice whose influence persists across the Western world. In doing so, he encouraged readers to feel as much as reason their way to justice. Ultimately, Temple argues that the 'Commentaries' offers a complex map of our affective relationship to juridical culture, one that illuminates both individual and communal understandings of our search for justice, and is crucial for understanding both justice and injustice today. 600 10 $a Blackstone, William, $d 1723-1780. $t Commentaries on the laws of England. 600 17 $a Blackstone, William, $d 1723-1780. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01797567 630 07 $a Commentaries on the laws of England (Blackstone, William) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01797829 650 0 $a Justice in literature. 650 0 $a Emotions in literature. 650 0 $a Law $z England $x History. 650 0 $a Practice of law $z England $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Law $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Law and aesthetics. 650 7 $a Emotions in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908874 650 7 $a Justice in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985152 650 7 $a Law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993678 650 7 $a Law and aesthetics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993891 650 7 $a Law $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993801 650 7 $a Practice of law $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074551 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013905.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C1FC426C0C2C11EAA2E5F95597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
