Abstract
Of the various "movements" in law, few have seen the growth and diversity found in law and literature. While the causes and explanations of this are surely diverse, a material part of the explanation has to be the fact that law can be looked at both as a literary artifact and as a subject of literary study. That is, it is possible both to study the ways in which law is represented in literature (e.g., Charles Dickens' Bleak House) and to evaluate the law as literature.
