  1. 1. Чисто британское убийство

    The Story of a Country House Crime

    Увлекательное историческое исследование британской одержимости убийствами: автор прослеживает, как в викторианскую эпоху и позже газеты, судебные зрелища, классовые предрассудки и развитие криминалистики формировали общественное восприятие преступлений. На примерах знаменитых дел и культурных феноменов показано, как сенсации о преступлениях породили детективную литературу, повлияли на правосудие и стали частью национальной идентичности. Текст написан живо и наглядно, сочетая журналистское чутьё с историческим анализом.

  2. 2. The Courtiers

    A lively social and political portrait of the Georgian court that uncovers the ambitions, rivalries and daily rituals of the people who surrounded the monarch; through anecdotes about fashion, gossip, patronage and scandal, it shows how personal relationships and courtly performance shaped power, politics and public life in eighteenth‑century Britain.

  3. 4. The Art Of The English Murder

    A lively cultural history that traces how an English fascination with murder — from sensational Victorian crimes through the emergence of detective fiction and modern media — shaped national identity, aesthetics and institutions; by interweaving notorious case studies, courtroom drama, press sensationalism, photography, illustrations and fiction, it shows how policing, class, gender and the visual imagination turned killing into a public spectacle and artistic subject, revealing as much about society’s fears and values as about the criminals themselves.
