Abstract
This article returns to a law and literature classic, Peter Goodrich’s Oedipus Lex (1995), for its contribution to the field’s ongoing reorientation to the materials and media of law. Read alongside Sigmund Freud’s “Dream of the Botanical Monograph” (1899/1900) and in terms of the psychoanalytic dream-work, Goodrich’s book holds out a vital promise for text- and media-oriented studies in law and literature.
