Produktinformationen zu „Gothic Forensics / Semiotics and Popular Culture (PDF)“
This book explores a number of foundational Victorian Gothic texts that have either predicted or prefigured key investigative methods used by police today. It also critically assesses the legislative, procedural, and forensic implications of crime fiction and horror produced during the Victorian era. Titles ranging from Bleak House to Dracula are demonstrated to be driving forces behind the professional standards and investigative methods used by police departments in the United States and United Kingdom, both then and now. Gothic Forensics explains how and why the Gothic served as the unlikely but irrefutable creative engine for advances in forensics made in the following century-techniques and technologies taken for granted today-as well as the literary progenitor of the prevailing methodologies now used in criminal investigation and profiling, the collection of evidence, and the administration of justice.

Pressezitat
“Gothic Forensics is part of a series aiming to give semiotic readings of popular culture in clear language for lay readers. In this book, Arntfield demonstrates that transatlantic nineteenth-century texts express central ideas of modern criminology.” (Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, Vol. 57 (4), 2017)
