asteriospolyp Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Hello. I intend on applying to Grad school to work on Law and Literature and how literary texts create their own structures of authority. I'm looking for professors who have similar interests. Could you guys suggest a few profs? I've made a tiny list of my own, but I'm afraid I might have missed someone whose interests coincide with mine. I'd be really grateful for your help. Thanks.
semicolon2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 The University of Chicago has a number of people working in this area such as Deborah Nelson, Sonali thakker, and Nicole Wright. Also check out NYU if you haven't already.
somethinbruin Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 You might look at USC. I know some past English PhD students there have focused on law and literature. Also, they have a Center for Law, History and Culture, so you may have some interdisciplinary options there as well.
asteriospolyp Posted July 1, 2013 Author Posted July 1, 2013 Thank you so much, the both of you: your advice has been most helpful.
Lycidas Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Elliot Visconsi at the University of Notre Dame might be worth looking into. I don't know your specific period, or if you have one, but he does work on Law and Literature in late 17th-century England
Mercyhurst2010 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 You might also consider my institution, Case Western Reserve University. I have not worked with her myself (very different interests) but Martha Woodmansee is well known in literature / law circles. She may be the most nationally known member of Case's faculty, and she holds a joint appointment in the English department and the Law school.
jazzyd Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Stephen M. Best at Berkeley and Eric Slauter at Chicago come immediately to mind.
