We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Criminal Justice During the Long Eighteenth Century" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book applies three overlapping bodies of work to generate fresh approaches to the study of criminal justice in England and Ireland between 1660 and 1850. First, crime and justice are interpreted as elements of the public sphere of opinion about government. Second, performativity and speech act theory are considered in the context of the Anglo-Irish criminal trial, which was transformed over the course of this period from an unmediated exchange between victim and accused to a fully lawyerized performance. Thirdly, the authors apply recent scholarship on the history of emotions, particularly relating to the constitution of emotional communities and changes in emotional regimes.

[A]midst shame and misery I yet wish to live; and most humbly implore that I shall be recommended by your lordship to the clemency of his majesty.
(Dr. Dodds Speech, which He Delivered to the Judge, before receiving Sentence of Death (London, 1777), broadsheet)
Background, Aims, and Themes
With these words and appropriate tears, the unfortunate Dr. William Dodd appealed for mercy after being convicted of forgery at the Old Bailey in 1777. In these ways this collection seeks to contribute new cultural-historical and theoretical perspectives to the history of the English criminal trial process, which has previously been dominated by the pioneering work of social and legal historians.
The background to this collection of essays consists of three overlapping bodies of work, which are fruitfully applied to generate a fresh approach to the study of crime and criminal justice in Britain over the period 16601850. Firstly, crime and justice news has been interpreted through the conceptual lens of the public sphere (i.e., printed reportage and commentary about public affairs), inspired originally by Jrgen Habermas, but developed in recent studies of early modern British history.4 Thus the reporting of crime and punishment in the press may be regarded as a media conversation among stakeholders about the merits of law and justice, rather than an accurate representation of events.5 Secondly, performativity and speech act theory are related to the special historical context of the Anglo-Irish criminal trial, which was transformed over the course of this period from an unmediated exchange between victim and accused to a progressively lawyerised performance culture.6 And thirdly, the authors take account of recent scholarship on the history of emotions, particularly relating to the constitution of emotional communities, changes in emotional regimes, and also press representations of scandalous events and their implications for popular participation in public affairs.7 Indeed, all these genres regard collective emotions and their cultural contexts as fundamentally important for constituting moral identities and driving historical change. In this book their complementary theoretical and empirical perspectives are applied to crime and justice proceedings: an important site of British government at the interface of state and society.
Emotions and Change: A Cultural History of Performance
So progressing the history of crime and punishment means attending to the performance of emotions, particularly to the formation of emotional communities, and shifts in emotional regimes, through close readings of relevant print culture and their implications for popular feelings about public affairs.8 As suggested in Dodds case, his semi-religious repentance may be regarded as a speech act: an emotional display which ideally could convene an emotional community of sympathetic auditors and readers. As such, it had the potential to subvert the dominant emotional regime of the state, the majesty of criminal justice. The essays that follow consider criminal trials and punishment as performances in two different but related senses. First, like Erving Goffmans classic,
