"A probing study of criminal law, punishment, and the narratives that seek to justify or challenge them. Hudson considers crimes such as perjury and counterfeiting, which raise questions about invention and imagination, and examines them in relation to a wide range of legal, literary, and theological works that pose similar questions. --Simon Stern, University of Toronto With this book, Hudson joins a rich and growing interdisciplinary conversation on law and literature in early modern England, artfully engaging with scholarship in history, literary studies, theory, and law... Crime and Consequence is a model contribution to this field, gracefully weaving together analysis of a broad range of scholarly interpretations and a rich tapestry of early modern sources, including court decisions, sermons, pamphlets, legal tomes, and numerous dramatic works.--Brendan Gillis, Lamar University ""Renaissance Quarterly"""
