During the eighteenth century English defendants, victims,
witnesses, judges, and jurors spoke a language of the mind. With
their reputations or lives at stake, men and women presented their
complex emotions and passions as grounds for acquittal or
mitigation of punishment. Inside the courtroom the language of
excuse reshaped crimes and punishments, signalling a shift in the
age-old negotiation of mitigation. Outside the courtroom the
language of the mind reflected society's preoccupation with
questions of sensibility, responsibility, and the self.
