| Summary: | This is a literary history of international law in the age of Shakespeare, Milton, Grotius, and Hobbes. It tells the previously untold story of major English Renaissance writers who used literary genres like epic, tragedy, comedy, tragicomedy, and history to help create modern international law. Whereas international law's standard histories regularly omit literary figures and debates, Warren instead delights in the early modern contests over literary form that animated a range of major seventeenth century texts. |
