It explores how connections between ‘high’ and ‘popular’ culture seem particularly inextricable where the death penalty is at stake, analysing a range of forms including major works of canonical literature, detective fiction, plays, polemics, criminological and psychoanalytic tracts and letters and memoirs. The book addresses conceptual understandings of the modern death penalty, including themes such as confession, the gothic, life-writing and the human-animal binary. It also discusses the role of conflict in shaping the representation of capital punishment, including chapters on the Easter Rising, on World War I, on colonial and quasi-colonial conflict and on World War II. Ebury’s overall approach aims to improve our understanding of the centrality of the death penalty and the role it played in major twentieth century literary movements and historical events.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | Death Penalty; Culture; Ethics; Life Writing; Confession; The Gothic | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-52750-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-52752-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-52750-1Series ISSN 2524-8820 Series E-ISSN 2524-8839 | | issn_series | 2524-8820 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
