Murder—a dark, shameful deed, the last resort of the desperate or
a vile tool of the greedy. And a very strange obsession. But where
did this fixation develop? And what does it tell us about
ourselves? Our fascination with crimes like these became a form of
national entertainment, inspiring novels and plays, prose and
paintings, poetry and true-crime journalism. At a point during the
birth of the modern era, murder entered the popular psyche, and
it’s been a part of us ever since. The Art of the English Murder
is a unique exploration of the art of crime—and a riveting
investigation into the English criminal soul by one of our finest
historians.
