This original study examines how the changing nature of evidence in law and theology shaped literary narrative in the nineteenth century. Jan-Melissa Schramm argues that authors of fiction created a style of literary advocacy which both imitated, and reacted against, the example of their storytelling counterparts of the criminal Bar.
