Sommario/riassunto

The significance that people grant to their affiliations as members of nations, religions, classes, races, ethnicities and genders is evidence of

Nota di contenuto

Organizing crime : conduct and character in Oliver Twist : prologue to



George Eliot's crimes -- "To fix our minds on that consequence" : minding consequences in Adam Bede and Felix Holt -- Middlemarch, Daniel Deronda, and the crime in mind -- James Fitzjames Stephen and the responsibilities of narrative -- Modern responsibilities.

Sommario/riassunto

This study of legal and literary narratives argues that the novel's power to represent the interior life of its characters both challenges the law's definitions of criminal responsibility and reaffirms them. Connecting novelists with jurists and legal historians of the era, it offers new ways of thinking about the Victorian period.
