Modern Literature and the Death Penalty, 1890-1950 therefore considers how connections between high and popular culture seem particularly inextricable where the death penalty is at stake. This book will consider a range of forms, including: short stories; pulp fiction; detective fiction; plays; polemic; criminological and psychoanalytic tracts; letters and memoirs by condemned persons and by executioners; and major works of canonical literature by authors including James Joyce, Theodore Dreiser, Elizabeth Bowen, Graham Greene, Flann OBrien. Cases of the death penalty that sparked particular public debate and had substantial literary influence are explored, including the Roger Casement Case (UK (Ireland) 1916), the Edith Thompson case (UK, 1923) and the Leopold and Loeb case (USA, 1924). 001433815 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 16, 2021). 001433815 650_0 $$aCapital punishment in literature. 001433815 650_0 $$aEnglish literature$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism. 001433815 650_0 $$aAmerican literature$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism. 001433815 650_6 $$aPeine de mort dans la littérature. 001433815 650_6 $$aLittérature anglaise$$y20e siècle$$xHistoire et critique. 001433815 650_6 $$aLittérature américaine$$y20e siècle$$xHistoire et critique. 001433815 655_7 $$aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411635 001433815 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001433815 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aEbury, Katherine, 1986-$$tModern literature and the death penalty, 1890-1950.$$dCham : Palgrave Macmillan, 2021$$z9783030527495$$w(OCoLC)1202946812 001433815 852__ $$bebk 001433815 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-52750-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001433815 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1433815$$pGLOBAL_SET 001433815 980__ $$aBIB 001433815 980__ $$aEBOOK 001433815 982__ $$aEbook 001433815 983__ $$aOnline 001433815 994__ $$a92$$bISE
