By tracing the relationships between the literature, authors, media, and judicial procedure of the time, Barleben illuminates the somewhat macabre element of modern British trial process, which still enacts and re-enacts itself throughout contemporary judicial systems of the British Commonwealth. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing little seen legal documents, like Ford's contempt trial decision, \u003ci\u003eStaging the Trials of Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers the conversations between the interior style of British Modern authors and the ways in which law began rethinking concepts like intent and the subconscious.
