Crime and Horror in Victorian Literature and Culture, Volume I by Matthew Kaiser
Charts the socioeconomic, cultural, and psychological anxieties that shaped nineteenth-century British literature and popular culture. This book maps the nineteenth-century British preoccupation with phenomena that rattled Western middle-class subjectivity: criminality, monstrosity, sexual transgression, alien cultures, and the breakdown of social norms.
