The Crime in Mind: Criminal Responsibility and the Victorian Novel
Rodensky, Lisa (Assistant Professor of English, Assistant Professor of English, Wellesley College)
This interdisciplinary study of legal and literary narratives argues that the novel's particular power to represent the interior life of its characters both challenges the law's definitions of criminal responsibility and reaffirm them. By means of connecting major novelists with prominent jurists and legal historians of the era, it offers profound new ways of thinking about the Victorian period.
