This invaluable collection explores the many faces of murder, and
its cultural presences, across the Italian peninsula between 1350
and 1650. These shape the content in different ways: the faces of
homicide range from the ordinary to the sensational, from the
professional to the accidental, from the domestic to the public;
while the cultural presence of homicide is revealed through new
studies of sculpture, paintings, and popular literature. Dealing
with a range of murders, and informed by the latest criminological
research on homicide, it brings together new research by an
international team of specialists on a broad range of themes:
different kinds of killers (by gender, occupation, and situation);
different kinds of victim (by ethnicity, gender, and status); and
different kinds of evidence (legal, judicial, literary, and
pictorial). It will be an indispensable resource for students of
Renaissance Italy, late medieval/early modern crime and violence,
and homicide studies.
