Rezensionen

"Gothic Forensics is part of a series aiming to give semiotic readings of popular culture in clear language for lay readers. In this book, Arntfield demonstrates that transatlantic nineteenth-century texts express central ideas of modern criminology." (Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, Vol. 57 (4), 2017)
