The Encyclopedia of Law and Literature

opens up new vistas by providing a comprehensive, reliable and authoritative reference to accumulated and current knowledge and research in the field of law and literature.

This bilingual encyclopedia in both English and German is being developed by the Collaborative Research Centre 1385 Law and Literature at the University of Münster with support from the German Research Foundation and contributions by numerous literary and legal scholars from Europe and abroad. It is edited by Thomas Gutmann, Eberhard Ortland and Klaus Stierstorfer.

This encyclopaedia is a source of scholarly information and a reference work for those interested in law and literature. But it is also intended to serve as an invitation to cross-disciplinary critical dialogue. The authors of the respective articles as well as the editorial staff are grateful for objections, questions and hints in regard to aspects to be considered.
