Abstract

AbstractFrom its very inception modern “law and literature” scholarship has exhibited at least as much interest in what happens in the classroom as it has in what happens in the courtroom. Its principal ambition is educative, its primary audience student. In a strategic sense it hopes that the deployment of literary texts might enhance a law student’s appreciation of the human dimension of legal practice. The first part of this article will set the jurisprudential context, taking a closer look at the evolving legal regulation of “revenge porn,” as well as the critical debate which this regulation has stimulated. The second will then consider the dramatic presentation of the same issues and arguments in Placey’s play.
