Description

Explore how Victorian society became captivated by domestic murders through Bridget Walsh's comprehensive analysis of literary and cultural representations spanning the nineteenth century. This Routledge study examines why certain crimes ignited public imagination and traces the evolving perception of domestic murderers across different genres and decades. Walsh argues that portrayals of domestic murder reflected broader social discontent rather than consensus about the domestic space, revealing how public appetite for such crimes mirrored wider anxieties about cultural and social codes of behaviour circulating throughout society. The book investigates the gap between domestic ideals and lived reality, demonstrating how crime narratives became vehicles for exploring social tensions. Essential reading for scholars of Victorian literature, cultural history, criminology, and gender studies seeking to understand how nineteenth-century society processed transgression within the family home.

Key Features

Bridget Walsh analyses domestic murder across multiple literary genres and cultural texts from nineteenth-century England.

Walsh demonstrates that domestic murder representations reflected social discontent rather than unified views about the family space.

Published by Routledge, this work bridges literary studies, cultural history, and social analysis for academic audiences.
