This book applies three overlapping bodies of work to generate
fresh approaches to the study of criminal justice in England and
Ireland between 1660 and 1850. First, crime and justice are
interpreted as elements of the "public sphere" of opinion about
government. Second, "performativity" and speech act theory are
considered in the context of the Anglo-Irish criminal trial, which
was transformed over the course of this period from an unmediated
exchange between victim and accused to a fully lawyerized
performance. Thirdly, the authors apply recent scholarship on the
history of emotions, particularly relating to the constitution of
"emotional communities" and changes in "emotional regimes".
