Valuable new insights into the multi-layered and multi-directional relationship of law, literature, and social regulation in pre-Conquest English society. Pre-Conquest English law was among the most sophisticated in early medieval Europe. Composed largely in the vernacular, it played a crucial role in the evolution of early English identity and exercised a formative influence on the development of the Common Law. However, recent scholarship has also revealed the significant influence of these legal documents and ideas on other cultural domains, both modern and pre-modern. This collection explores the richness of pre-Conquest legal writing by looking beyond its traditional codified form. Drawing on methodologies ranging from traditional philology to legal and literary theory, and from a diverse selection of contributors offering a broad spectrum of disciplines, specialities and perspectives, the essays examine the intersection between traditional juridical texts - from law codes and charters to treatises and religious regulation - and a wide range of literary genres, including hagiography and heroic poetry. In doing so, they demonstrate that the boundary that has traditionally separated "law" from other modes of thought and writing is far more porous than hitherto realized. Overall, the volume yields valuable new insights into the multi-layered and multi-directional relationship of law, literature, and social regulation in pre-Conquest English society.

Dans les Contes et nouvelles en vers, La Fontaine ne cache pas qu'il s'accorde quelques licences par rapport aux normes morales ou esthétiques ; mais celles-ci relèvent moins d'une subversion que d'une dérogation consentie par les mondains à qui se destinent les contes. Échafaudant sa légitimité en marge des règles, le texte ménage ainsi divers dispositifs pour convaincre le lecteur d'approuver les écarts commis, notamment en détournant des formes d'écriture ou de pensée habituelles dans le champ mondain. La poétique licencieuse du conteur se situe donc à la frontière du permis comme du défendu, reflet d'un classicisme ironique envers ses propres codes et reposant essentiellement sur la connivence avec le lecteur.
