Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Law of Literary Criticism as Illustrated by the Athenaeum Libel Case (1875) is a non-fiction book written by Thomas Brumby Johnston. The book explores the legal implications of literary criticism through the lens of the Athenaeum libel case, which took place in 1875. The case involved a review published in the Athenaeum, a prominent literary magazine, which was accused of defaming the reputation of a writer. Johnston examines the legal arguments made by both sides and provides a detailed analysis of the court's decision. The book delves into the complexities of defamation law, the role of literary criticism in society, and the challenges of balancing freedom of expression with the protection of individual reputations. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the legal and ethical issues surrounding literary criticism and the publishing industry.Johnston V.
