Why did Bronte and Gaskell find gossip such a useful source of information when lawyers excluded it as hearsay? How did Trollope?s work as an editor influence his preoccupation throughout his novels with libel?0Drawing on a range of primary sources including novels, Victorian periodical literature, legislative debate, case law, and legal treatise, Cathrine O. Frank traces the ways conventions of literary characterisation mingled with character-centred legal developments to produce a jurisprudential theory of character that extends beyond the legal profession. She explores how key categories and representational strategies for imagining individual personhood also defined communities and mediated relations within them, in life and in fiction. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 225-237) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Character-building: narrative theory, narrative jurisprudence, and the idea of character -- Incriminating character: revisiting the right to silence in Adam Bede and The scarlet letter -- Gossip, hearsay, and the characte exception: reputation on trial in The tenant of Wildfell Hall and R v Rowton -- Defamation of characterz; Anthony Trollope and the law of libel -- Dignity, disclosure, and the right of privacy: the strange characters of Dr. Jekyll and Dorian Greay -- The English Dreyfus Case: status as character in the illiberal age. 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Character in literature. 650 0 $a Law in literature. 650 0 $a Law and literature $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a History. 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a Character in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00852277 650 7 $a Law and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993913 650 7 $a Law in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994014 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781474485739 830 0 $a Edinburgh critical studies in law, literature and the humanities. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023025.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F6EB5AE03D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
