Men of Blood: Violence, Manliness, and Criminal Justice in Victorian England
Wiener, Martin J. (Rice University, Houston)
An examination of the treatment of serious violence by men against women in nineteenth-century England. During Victoria's reign the criminal law came to punish such violence more systematically and heavily, while propagating a new, more pacific ideal of manliness. Yet this apparently progressive legal development called forth strong resistance.
