Description

Explore the groundbreaking connection between female criminality and the emergence of the British novel in this scholarly examination by Kirsten T. Saxton. Deadly Plots argues that the murderess figure was central to the development of eighteenth-century fiction, revealing how categories of criminality, gender, and narrative intersected during the long eighteenth century. Saxton compares non-fiction representations of homicidal women found in Newgate Ordinaries biographies and trial reports with portrayals in early novels by Aphra Behn, Delariviere Manley, and Daniel Defoe, demonstrating the constitutive relationship between legal and fictional texts of the period. This work offers fresh insights into how representations of dangerous women shaped literary and legal discourse, making it essential reading for scholars of eighteenth-century literature, criminal history, and gender studies.
