The Spectacle of Death: Populist Literary Responses to American Capital Cases
Kristin Boudreau
Focuses on the central role of populist, often ephemeral literary forms in shaping attitudes toward capital punishment. This work shows that at times of social unrest, many Americans feeling excluded by the political and legal processes, turned instead to inexpensive literary forms of expression in an attempt to change the course of history.
