"Combines analyses of a wide range of texts across time periods with historical events such as the Nat Tate biography hoax and the Anders Breivik murders to theorize a rhetorical definition of fictionality that reconceives of basic literary concepts such as author, narrator, plot, character, consciousness, tropes, intertextuality, and paratext"--

From Law and Literature to Legality and Affect
From Law and Literature to Legality and Affect argues for the continued vitality of Law and Literature. Traditional methods of Law and Literature are combined with work in critical media studies, affect, and cultural narratology to address topics such as ethnonationalism, anti-immigration sentiment, and systemic racism in Germany and the United States.

It has a precedent in inaugural Law and Literature texts such as Jacob Grimm's Von der Poesie im Recht (On the Poetry in Law) from 1815/16, which imagined an alternative legal order that was grounded in the unity of...

Narrative, Imagination and Concepts of Fiction in Late Antique Hagiography
This volume explores concepts of fiction in late antique hagiographical narrative in different cultural and literary traditions. It includes Greek, Latin, Syriac, Armenian, Persian and Arabic material. Whereas scholarship in these texts has traditionally focussed on historical questions, this book approaches imaginative narrative as an inherent element of the genre of hagiography that deserves to be studied in its own right. The chapters explore narrative complexities related to fiction, such as invention, authentication, intertextuality, imagination and fictionality. Together, they represent an innovative exploration of how these concepts relate to hagiographical discourses of truth and the religious notion of belief, while paying due attention to the various factors and contexts that impact readers’ responses.

Middelalderisme i dansk romantisk litteratur
Mellem 1750 og 1850 genopdagede danske forfattere den nordiske middelalder, dens historie, kultur og litteratur, og de genfortolkede den i en ny tids ånd. Med inspiration fra Saxos Danmarkskrønike, den norrøne digtning og folkeviserne skabte digtere som Ewald, Oehlenschläger og Ingemann værker, der kom til at definere romantikken i Danmark. Drømmen om middelalderen blev en fællesnævner for dansk litteratur frem til midten af det 19. århundrede. For nogle var den forestillede middelalder en anledning til at fantasere om eventyr, heltedåd og romantisk kærlighed, mens andre gendigtede den som en storhedstid, der kunne dyrkes som en kilde til national stolthed og til oprejsning af folkeånden. Bogen er den første samlede fremstilling af middelalderisme – dvs. genfortolkning af middelalderen – i dansk romantisk litteratur. Den viser, hvordan et kosmopolitisk København blev centrum for en ny middelalderfascination, der bredte sig til resten af Europa, og som i vores egen tid giver genlyd i romaner, film og tv-serier om perioden.
