Criminal Justice During the Long Eighteenth Century (eBook, ePUB)

Theatre, Representation and Emotion
Redaktion: Lemmings, David; May, Allyson N.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book draws upon three overlapping bodies of work to generate fresh approaches to the study of crime and criminal justice in Britain and Ireland between 1660 and 1850: the conceptual lens of the "public sphere", "performativity" and speech act theory, and the history of the emotions. It opens new perspectives on the theatre of justice.
