Binding Men tells stories about men, violence and law in late
Victorian England. It does so by focusing upon five important legal
cases, all of which were binding not only upon the males involved
but also upon future courts and the men who appeared before them.
The subject matter of Prince (1875), Coney (1882), Dudley and
Stephens (1884), Clarence (1888) and Jackson (1891) ranged from
child abduction, prize-fighting, murder and cannibalism to
transmitting gonorrhoea and the capture and imprisonment of a wife
by her husband. Each case has its own chapter, depicting the events
which led the protagonists into the courtroom, the legal outcome
and the judicial pronouncements made to justify this, as well as
exploring the broader setting in which the proceedings took place.
In so doing, Binding Men describes how a particular case can be
seen as being a part of attempts to legally limit male behaviour.
The book is essential reading for scholars and students of crime,
criminal law, violence, and gender. It will be of interest to those
working on the use of narrative in academic writing as well as
legal methods. Binding Men's subject matter and accessible style
also make it a must for those with a general interest in crime,
history and, in particular, male criminality.
