Its key concern is to bring attention to a cultural and legal revolution widely overlooked even in the law field where it occurred. In 2009, the English Parliament passed a controversial law abolishing the defence of provocation. Explaining the new law, reformers said that this so-called 'heat of passion' defence had allowed men to get away with murder by blaming the victim. Abolishing it in cases of alleged 'infidelity' would 'end the culture of excuses'. Unpacking what was at stake in the reformers' revolutionary challenge to the English law of murder's age-old concession to 'human frailty' in 'red mist' rage cases, this book charts passion's progress in wife-killing cases over the centuries. It commences in the early modern era when jurists were busy distinguishing murder from manslaughter and, contemporaneously, Shakespeare set about querying culturally-inscribed excuses for femicide in his plays, Titus Andronicus and Othello. This book will appeal to feminist and socio-legal scholars, criminologists and those working in the fields of law and literature, legal theory and Shakespeare studies. More widely, it will appeal to anyone interested in so-called 'crimes of passion'"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029048 650 0 $a Crimes of passion $x History. $z England $x History. 650 0 $a Women $x History. $z England $x History. 650 0 $a Crimes of passion in literature. 650 0 $a Law and literature $z England $x History. 650 7 $a Crimes of passion in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883151 650 7 $a Crimes of passion $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01909433 650 7 $a Law and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993913 650 7 $a Women $x Crimes against. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176618 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Howe, Adrian. $t Crimes of passion since Shakespeare $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2023 $z 9781003301974 $w (DLC) 2022054908 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011813.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=554C5F3E2E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
