Execution Culture in Nineteenth Century Britain

This edited collection offers multi-disciplinary reflections and analysis on a variety of themes centred on nineteenth-century executions in the UK, many specifically related to the fundamental change in capital punishment culture as the execution moved from the public arena to behind the prison wall. By examining a period of dramatic change in punishment practice, this collection of essays provides a fresh historical perspective on nineteenth century execution culture, with a focus on Scotland, Wales and the regions of England.

From Public Spectacle to Hidden Ritual has two parts. Part 1 addresses the criminal body and the witnessing of executions in the nineteenth century, including studies of the execution crowd and executioners memoirs, as well as reflections on the experience of narratives around capital punishment in museums in the present day.

Routledge SOLON Explorations in Crime and Criminal Justice Histories

Edited by Kim Stevenson, University of Plymouth; Judith Rowbotham, University of Plymouth; David Nash, Oxford Brookes University and David J. Cox, University of Wolverhampto

This series is a collaboration between Routledge and the SOLON consortium (promoting studies in law, crime and history), to present cutting edge interdisciplinary research in crime and criminal justice history, through monographs and thematic collected editions which reflect on key issues and dilemmas in criminology and socio-legal studies by locating them within a historical dimension. The emphasis here is on inspiring use of historical and historiographical methodological approaches to the contextualising and understanding of current priorities and problems. This series aims to highlight the best, most innovative interdisciplinary work from both new and established scholars in the field, through focusing on the enduring historical resonances to current core criminological and socio-legal issues.
