Liberalizing Contracts: Nineteenth Century Promises Through Literature, Law and History

Contract reached its highpoint as a conceptual tool in the Victorian era. As Victorians negotiated the balances of the sense of constraints and potential in this era of change, contracts assumed center-stage. Reading representations of promissory relations in canonic fiction against histories of contract law, this book reframes views of contract.
