Explore Britain's dark criminal history through the fascinating
objects that have been hidden away in the Crime Museum at Scotland
Yard, a collection that, although world-famous, is so sensitive it
is not open to public view. Each object tells its own story: the
briefcase with a concealed syringe owned by the notorious Kray
twins; the gun Ruth Ellis used to murder her lover David Blakely; a
burnt-out computer from the Glasgow airport car bomb; a picture
from the property of Dennis Nilsen of the grisly drain that was
blocked with human body parts; and the gun that Edward Oxford fired
at Queen Victoria that failed to assassinate her. Updated to
feature new objects that have entered the collection since 2015,
Scotland Yard's History of Crime in 100 Objects is an absorbing,
sometimes shocking and often disturbing journey through criminal
history. Peer within to experience a unique insight into the crimes
and criminals dealt with by Scotland Yard.
This collection brings together scholars from a wide range of
disciplines to offer perspectives on national identity formation in
various European contexts between 1600 and 1815. Contributors
challenge the dichotomy between modernists and traditionalists in
nationalism studies through an emphasis on continuity rather than
ruptures in the shaping of European nations in the period, while
also offering an overview of current debates in the field and case
studies on a number of topics, including literature,
historiography, and cartography.
