Abstract

The essay deals with the figure of the eminent Russian jurist Anatoli? Fedorovich Koni, representative of the current legal liberal-moderate of pre-revolutionary Russia. In his work, he recovers his interest in the great master of modern Russian literature, Pushkin, who joins the program to modernize the judicial reforms initiated in 1864. Also lists personal relationships with contemporary writers, including those listed Chekhov, Dostoievski and Tolstoy. On this basis, analyzes the overlapping law and literature in two directions, from the legal considerations of literary texts as well as potential of legal categories in literary creation. Finally, inserts the two constructions in the atmosphere of a literary and legal culture from which prefigures the literary modernist and (ephemeral and failed) legal modernism
