9780801851193: Strong Representations: Narrative and Circumstantial Evidence in England

Synopsis

This text argues that the effort to make the facts of a situation speak for themselves was the single most prominent form of narrative in the late 18th and 19th centuries. Drawing on English literary texts and criticism, the history of common law and natural religion, it characterizes the narrative form of "strong representation" - the endeavour to use circumstantial evidence to tell of things not seen.
