Proteic traits allow for an understanding of how crime is constructed within the parameters of exception, borrowing from pre-existent forms while devising new patterns and categories such as criminography, the 'star killer, ' the staging of crimes as suicides, serial murders, and the faking of madness. These accounts aim at bewildering and shocking demanding readers through a carefully displayed cult to excessive behaviour. The arranged 'economy of death' displayed in murder accounts will set them apart from other exceptional instances, as proven by their long-standing presence in subsequent centuries"-- $c Provided by publishers. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a A murder of crows -- The taxonomic axis of fatality : from series of monsters to serial murderers -- Sketching the face of evil : pioneering serial killers -- On the edge : living between suicide and madness -- Expressing criminal behavior -- Dying in parts : criminography and the cult of excess -- Cleaning the crime scene. 650 0 $a Murder $z Spain $x History. 650 0 $a Murder $x History. $z Spain $x History. 650 0 $a Murder in literature. 651 0 $a Spain $x Social conditions $y To 1800. 650 7 $a Murder. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029781 650 7 $a Murder in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029804 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Spain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204303 648 7 $a To 1800 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Rio Parra, Elena del. $t Exceptional crime in early modern Spain. $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2019] $z 9789004392397 $w (DLC) 2019010319 830 0 $a Medieval and early modern Iberian world ; $v v. 68. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014144.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B6F12916586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
