Outlaws and Spies [EPUB ebook]
Legal Exclusion in Law and Literature

Support

Cover of Conor McCarthy: Outlaws and Spies (ePUB)

By reading two bodies of literature not normally read together – the outlaw literature and espionage literature – Conor Mc Carthy shows how these genres represent and critique the longstanding use of legal exclusion as a means of supporting state power. Texts discussed range from the medieval Robin Hood ballads, Shakespeare’s history plays, and versions of the Ned Kelly story to contemporary writing by John le Carre, Don De Lillo, Ciaran Carson and William Gibson.
