Trials Of The Self: Murder, Mayhem And The Remaking Of The Mind, 1750-1830

Duellists, drunks and remorseful murderers populate Trials of the self, which highlights the criminal court as a space for publicising and negotiating models of the self. Using criminal trial records, the book argues that inner depth became increasingly important around 1800, not only for elites, but also for common people. -- .
