Abstract:
This study of legal and literary narratives argues that the novel's power to represent the interior life of its characters both challenges the law's definitions of criminal responsibility and reaffirms them. Connecting novelists with jurists and legal historians of the era, it offers new ways of thinking about the Victorian period
