  • ENG 386 This course examines the development of crime, criminality, and punishment in Anglo-American culture during three distinct periods: seventeenth century England, Victorian England, and Cold War America, with a brief (but important) detour into nineteenth century Russia. We shall interrogate how crime and criminality came to be defined over time, along with how notions of justice and punishment (or the lack thereof) found representation in literature. We will examine plays, novels, films, coney-catching pamphlets, and penny-dreadfuls, as well as some literary theory concerning the development of the criminal within the modern capitalist system. Texts to include: Thomas Middleton's The Roaring Girl, Dickens' Oliver Twist, Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, and the classic films-noir Detour and Pitfall, the latter a nightmare version of Leave it to Beaver.
