This book analyses the legal and aesthetic discourses that combine
to shape the image of the criminal, and that image's contemporary
endurance. The author traces the roots of contemporary ideas about
criminality back to legal, philosophical and aesthetic concepts
originating in the nineteenth century. Building on the ideas of
Foucault and Walter Benjamin, Hutchings argues that the criminal,
as constructed in places such as popular crime stories or the law
of insanity, became an obsession which haunted nineteenth century
thought.
