Location: 100 Enarson Classroom
Contact: Louise Yahiaoui
English majors and those from all interested disciplines are invited to learn more about the Detecting London program for May 2023.“Detecting Victorian London: Crime in the City" engages students in investigating some of the most sensational criminal cases of the Victorian era through the lenses of poverty, policing, punishment and popular opinion. Students will examine how the cases themselves—as well as the genres of police memoir, crime reporting, ephemera and fiction of the period (e.g., Charles Dickens, Arthur Conan Doyle, C.L. Pirkis, Mary Elizabeth Braddon)—reflected and influenced shifts in social and cultural practice, legal reform and political belief.
