Little has been written by lawyers about the effect of provocation
on culpability for homicide in English law, yet the question of
what our moral attitudes should be towards someone who kills or
injures another in anger has been a source of lively debate for
centuries. The first philosophical inquiry into the moral character
of actions in anger, it seeks to resolve the philosophical
controversies generated by setting them in the context of an
examination of the place of anger in human nature throughout
history. A previously unexplored area of research, this work breaks
new ground in its use of historical and philosophical sources not
normally linked with criminal law, providing a colorful and
fascinating history of the plea of provocation as a defense to
murder in England.
