Description

Explore the connection between gender, criminality, and the development of the British novel in this scholarly work by Kirsten T. Saxton. Published by Routledge, this book examines how the figure of the murderess helped shape the literary landscape of the long eighteenth century. Saxton provides new insights into how legal texts and fictional stories worked together. By looking at the intersection of gender and crime, the text reveals how early novels were influenced by real-world legal reports. This study is essential for readers interested in the history of literature and the social history of England during the years 1680 to 1760. The research compares non-fiction accounts, such as trial reports and biographies of Newgate Ordinaries, with the works of famous early novelists. It offers a deep look at how women were represented in both law and fiction, providing a clear view of the complex relationship between these two worlds.
