Those that would resist the law or question the constitution in a polity which had been from the Act of Supremacy to the present day explicitly both ecclesiastical and temporal, spiritual and secular, were sacrilegious, unnatural and irrational if not always explicitly insane. The constitution, the community of doctrine and of law, had to be defended and indeed would define itself antirrhetically: the lex terrae was a law established against an outside peopled by strangers, foreigners, \"aegyptians,\" hermaphrodites, \"langobards\" and other untouchables.3 Similarly, there were enemies within the constitution and against whose antiportrait the image of the upstanding legal subject could be projected: those that would question the law, scholars, historians, linguists, those that could not belong to the law, women in particular, those that wished an independent judgment or that vulgarly came too close to the Crown.4 In one sense, the above argument as to the antirrhetical character of legal writing and legal speech is unsurprising if not necessarily unremarkable. The art of forensic rhetoric was developed principally in adversarial or classically agonistic contexts. Its practices historically have been elaborated around commonplaces or argumentative topoi listed so as to confirm the familiar and confute opposing arguments. Its goal or end was to elicit an absolute judgment predicated upon or justified by proof of cause or of guilt that was","PeriodicalId":312913,"journal":{"name":"Cardozo Studies in Law and Literature","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126886011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Claudel rejected traditional, realistic psychology in his plays, utilized free verse, and emphasized the spiritual dimension of man's search for meaning. Yet this poetic approach did not prevent him from dealing with some of the most brutal and elemental impulses in the human psyche. In particular, the themes of death, crime, and usurpation figure prominently throughout his theater.1 His Trilogy, composed between 1908 and 1916, traces the fortunes of three generations of the Turelure-CoOfontaine family, from the French Revolution to the Second Empire. Unlike most of Claudel's other plays, the Trilogy is a relatively realistic work, which vividly depicts the bitter physical and emotional struggle for dominance and satisfaction among the family members. The themes of death and usurpation play an important role in all three of its parts. I focus here on the second play of the Trilogy, Le Pain dur,2 the most violent and somber of the three plays, and on the problems of criminal law raised by the events it describes. The central event is an act of murder, and it is prepared and carried out along the lines of classic criminal behavior. Thus a legal analysis, with its vocabulary, logical structure, and tools of behavioral and ethical evaluation, can help to clarify the complex aesthetic structure of the work. If, by treating a fictional crime according to the \"rules\" of a real legal system, I momentarily take it out of the realm of pure literary imagination and freedom and situate it in the \"real world,\" I eventually return to the representational domain of Claudel's imagination. Indeed, the two domains, the legal and the literary, are in fact closer than they might appear.

Although the Court would affirm Sam Roth's conviction, the opinion written by Justice William J. Brennan, Jr. was the Supreme Court's first move to liberate literature and art from governmental censorship. Roth and his wife, Pauline, made their living by publishing risqud literature, usually reprinted and frequently pirated, which they advertised and sold mainly through the mails. Sam Roth was one of a number of publishers after World War II who devoted themselves to serving the demonstrable interest of Americans in sexual images and ideas, and sexually oriented publications. To Roth, this was \"a healthy, normal interest -vigorous and creative.\" Others -and notably moral and religious vigilante groups, bureaucrats in the federal postal and customs services, police, federal and state prosecutors, trial and appellate judges, and the chief justice of the United States -had a different view. United States Second Circuit Chief Judge Charles Clark called Roth \"an old hand at publishing and surreptitiously mailing to those induced to order them such lurid pictures and materials as he can find profitable.\" To Earl Warren, the Supreme Court's new chief justice, Roth and his ilk were just \"plainly engaged in the commercial exploitation of the morbid and shameful craving\" that some Americans had \"for materials with prurient effect.\" In Thy Neighbor's Wife, published in 1980, Gay Talese outlined the lives and publishing styles of Roth and others of the breed, including George Von Rosen, Marvin Miller, Al Goldstein, Ralph Ginzburg, and William Hamling. Their enterprise in exciting male fantasies about the sexual nature of women would not be recognized by the Supreme Court as having implications for freedom of the press until waves from the sexual revolution washed up against the high bench, during the late 1960's.
