This edited collection offers multi-disciplinary reflections and analysis on a wide range of themes centered on nineteenth-century executions in the UK, many of which are specifically related to the fundamental shift 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. Part 2 explores the treatment of the execution experience in the print media, from the nineteenth and into the twentieth century.
The collection brings together contributions from the fields of Heritage and Museum Studies, History, Law, Legal History, and Literary Studies, to shed new light on execution culture in nineteenth-century Britain. This volume will be of interest to students and academics in the fields of criminology, heritage and museum studies, history, law, legal history, medical humanities, and socio-legal studies.
