The Art Of The English Murder by Lucy Worsley
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.
