Hutson, Lorna, Editor. Kahn, Victoria and Lorna Hutson, Editors. Rhetoric and Law in Early Modern Europe. New Haven: Yale University Press, [2001]. ix, 355 pp. Cloth fine in near fine dust jacket. Internally clean and bright. $45. * An interdisciplinary study exploring the historical relationship between legal practices and rhetorical conventions in early modern Europe. The book gathers essays from historians, legal scholars, literary critics, and political theorists to examine how law and rhetoric mutually influenced the period's cultural and intellectual development. The collection discusses the role of contract law in shaping the concept of the "modern subject"-an individual with a self-contained identity and legal personhood. It analyzes how the intersection of rhetoric and law contributed to the social and legal constructions of gender and sexuality. The essays examine the theories of equity developed during the period and their contribution to new understandings of human intention and political action. It explores how early modern changes in legal proof, particularly the use of circumstantial evidence, influenced literary practices and the representation of human motive in works like Renaissance drama.
