Outlaws and Spies by Conor Mccarthy
Conor McCarthy shows how outlaw literature and espionage literature critique the use of legal exclusion as a means of supporting state power. Texts discussed range from the medieval Robin Hood ballads, Shakespeare's history plays and the Ned Kelly story to John le Carre, Don DeLillo, Ciaran Carson and William Gibson.
Outlaws and Spies will be of interest to those who study the history of nation states and the relationship between governments and their peoples, in both the real and imagined worlds … McCarthy's work is timely, as we continue to live in an era of growing uncertainty regarding the delineation between state power, particularly concerning covert surveillance and propaganda, and the basic human rights of individual autonomy and protection of the law-- Eric J. Morgan, University of Wisconsin–Green Bay * Cultural History *
