politics, literature, and film  

Definition

  • Unlike the law and literature movement, which credits The Legal Imagination (1973) by James Boyd White as its epiphanic text, there is no such author or coherent institutionalized approach that speaks to the effect of literature or film on politics. This is likely because until the nineteenth century, there was no serious doubt that authors, and especially poets, spoke authoritatively on political issues.
