Abstract:
To say that this common [criminal] fate was described in the popular press and commented on simply as a piece of police news is, indeed, to fall short of the facts. To say that it was sung and balladed would be more correct; it was expressed in a form quite other than that of the modern press, in a language which one could certainly describe as that of fiction rather than reality, once we have discovered that there is such a thing as a reality of fiction.—Louis Chevalier, Laboring Classes and Dangerous ClassesSPEAKING OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY FRANCE, Louis Chevalier traces the bourgeoisie’s elisi

Abstract:
Although historians have long recognized that crime pamphlet authors were not very faithful reporters, it has been difficult for them to establish precisely how much fiction this literature contained because of the limited availability of other sources with which to compare them. Using a case study approach, this essay examines two murder pamphlets, both written in 1606, that describe the murder of a young boy, Anthony James, the mutilation of his sister, Elizabeth, and the conviction and execution of their alleged assailants, Agnes and George Dell.

Abstract:
As skilled ‘detectives’, dress historians are experts in closely reading surviving artefacts and using them to glean evidence of the lives of those who made and wore them. With shoes and footwear, this rich, object-based approach can yield new information that challenges established histories. This article turns traditional object analysis on its head by interrogating instead the impressions and traces that objects leave behind, taking a forensic approach to footwear. It examines the rise of scientific policing and the history of footprints as a key form of evidence in crime fact and fiction.

Abstract:
Victorian sensation novels, in addition to their scandalous topics such as fraud, murder, adultery, bigamy, and madness, refer to Victorian laws and their construction by social and cultural standards. As a significant sensation novelist, one of the most important subjects Wilkie Collins calls for attention is illegitimacy, a social, political, and literary topic he recurrently employs in his fiction. In his novels The Woman in White (1860) and No Name (1862), he dwells on this issue, motivating the characters’ crimes and scandalous acts. In both novels, illegitimate characters act illegally t

With the growth of the middle class and the demand for accessible entertainment,periodicals emerged as a key medium for short stories, with detective fiction becoming a prominent genre.

Abstract:
Abstract To date, the only scholarly attention paid to the two abandoned Wharton novels called “The Keys of Heaven” has focused on the “Praslin version,” a retelling of a murder-suicide from 1840s Paris. The “Olney-Beecher version” concerns a woman named Catherine Beecher, her would-be lover Jacob Olney, and her husband, a New England architect who sounds a lot like Ogden Codman Jr., with whom Wharton wrote The Decoration of Houses. This overlooked material evidently from the mid-1920s should be of interest to scholars for the potential light it sheds on her writing from the period and on the

Abstract:
“For the choice of subject we have nothing but condemnation. It is Mr Browning's luck” (Litzinger 331). Thus the reviewer for Chamber's Journal in 1869 summed up his reaction to the subject matter of Browning's The Ring and the Book. Indeed, this account of Browning's subject has seemed satisfactory to all but the biographically inclined of Browning's critics. Browning's subject—a grisly murder and its attendant trials—can easily enough be explained by reference to his account of discovering his historical sources in Book 1 of The Ring and the Book or by a general discussion of Browning's pers

Abstract In 1701 Puritan minister John Rogers published the criminal narrative of Esther Rodgers, who had been convicted of infanticide and executed. Esther Rodgers appears in Rogers’s Death the Certain Wages of Sin not as a depraved criminal or even a repentant sinner but as a courageous Christian martyr. Much of the productive recent scholarship on Rodgers studies the way her criminal status operated in the public sphere generally or print culture specifically, but the literary construction of her legal criminal status reveals a larger negotiation over marginalized individuals’ ability to co

Abstract:
Introduction Crime fiction is one of the world’s most popular genres. Indeed, it has been estimated that as many as one in every three new novels, published in English, is classified within the crime fiction category (Knight xi). These new entrants to the market are forced to jostle for space on bookstore and library shelves with reprints of classic crime novels; such works placed in, often fierce, competition against their contemporaries as well as many of their predecessors. Raymond Chandler, in his well-known essay The Simple Art of Murder, noted Ernest Hemingway’s observation that “the goo

Abstract:
This chapter details the strengths of Rex Stout as an author of detective fiction, particularly in his mysteries starring Nero Wolfe. Here, the chapter argues that Stout's singular achievement was to refresh and refashion the partnership of mastermind sleuth and good-hearted narrator. He adapted the model of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson from late Victorian England to metropolitan Manhattan, circa 1935–1965. The cogitation is done by the obese, beer-drinking, orchid-loving detective with the imperial name who does not budge from his West Thirty-fifth Street brownstone; his right-hand man-about-town Archie Goodwin does the work on the ground and tells the tale. The chapter asserts that one reads a Nero Wolfe mystery not for the plot or puzzle but for the richness of the two leading characters and the evocation of New York City as the capital of glamour.

Abstract:
This chapter analyzes Freeman’s representation of infanticide from a transatlantic perspective. Through a comparative reading of Freeman’s short story “Old Woman Magoun” and the turn-of-the-century Greek novella A Murderess by Alexandros Papadiamantis, the chapter argues that the murder of female infants or (infantilized) female children is an act of resistance against a patriarchal system that commodifies women on the marriage market. Both texts weave a gender critique that conveys women’s restorative power and evokes a transgressive genealogy of monstrous motherhood epitomized by La Llorona, the wailing or weeping woman in Meso-American mythology. In this sense, Freeman’s fiction can be read not only as New England or US literature but also as world literature, a broader nexus of literary and mythic texts, which retell old myths in new contexts of global historical relevance.

Abstract In Is Heathcliff a Murderer? I defended what is thought to be Jane Austen’s most egregious ‘error’ in her fiction, arguing that it was no error at all if one read it aright. The company go for a picnic to the grounds of Donwell Abbey. It is ‘the middle of June’, ‘almost Midsummer’, as we are precisely informed (the actual day can be calculated as the 22nd of the month). Strawberries are in prospect:‘the best fruit in England –– every body’s favourite’. They are in plentiful supply, we understand. It has been a good crop –– and on time. During a quiet moment on the expedition, standing on a hill, Emma gazes at the Surrey landscape spread out before her. It is ‘a sweet view –– sweet to the eye and the mind. English verdure, English culture, English comfort, seen under a sun bright, without being oppressive.’
