The focus om ‘Constitutional Theory as Literature in the 19th-Century Anglosphere’ examines how constitutional thought (and public law more broadly) were shaped by literary categories (narrative, allegory, ethos, pathos), and how it alwo came into being through them. Conversely, far from being neutral or purely reflective of a given legal order, nineteenth-century literature actively participated in the elaboration, contestation, or naturalisation of constitutional thought and law.
