Review

"[An] elegant and articulate critique of aspects of the confession. The book picks a neat path between law and literature and dissects the ambiguities and instabilities at the root of both the instinct to make, and the public and legal appetite to accept, confessions."

"[A] book so rich in fresh ideas that I found myself underlining as madly as an undergraduate....Thanks to the very nature of its subject, this is a book of questing and questioning. Brooks does not advocate any clear-cut position on how the law should coordinate its theory of the individual with what we have learned about ourselves from history, literature, and psychology. But the very posing of the questions is more radical and subversive than any specific position could be."

Annotation

Supplemented with vivid literary examples, this scholarly work explores the nature of courtroom confessions and their relationship to personal identity and external forces.
