Abstract

Des brutes sauvages et sanguinaires rôdant au cœur de la cité, des policiers qui volent, des médecins qui assassinent, des surhommes punissant en dehors des lois : les mystères urbains offrent au lecteur une imposante galerie de criminels dans une société où les honnêtes gens semblent confinés au rôle de victime. Leur principale contribution au mythe de la ville moderne consiste ainsi à cristalliser une criminalité urbaine anxiogène et à affirmer déchiffrer un espace social chaotique et incompréhensible pour le non-initié.Entre 1840 et 1860, E. Sue, A. Dumas, P. Féval, L.-F. Raban, C. Robert et E.-F. Vidocq offrent chacun leurs mystères urbains. De ce riche corpus, peuplé de criminels caractérisés par une perpétuelle tension entre tradition et modernité menaçante, émergent une poétique complexe et une fascinante conception de la lecture. C’est à cartographier les voyages qu’ils proposent à leur lecteur que s’attache cet ouvrage, afin de mettre en évidence une dramatisation du crime kaléidoscopique, ambivalente et, à bien des égards, toujours pertinente.

Abstract

Beginning with Victoria's enthronement and an exploration of sensationalist accounts of attacks on the Queen, and ending with the notorious case of a fin-de-siècle killer, Victorian Crime, Madness and Sensation throws new light on nineteenth-century attitudes toward crime and 'deviance'. The essays, which draw on both canonical and liminal texts, examine the Victorian fascination with criminal psychology and pathology, engaging with real life cases alongside fictional accounts by writers as diverse as Ainsworth, Stevenson, and Stoker. Among the topics are shifting definitions of criminality and the ways in which discourses surrounding crime changed during the nineteenth century, the literal and social criminalization of particular sex acts, and the gendering of degeneration and insanity. As fascinated as they were with criminality, the Victorians were equally concerned with solving crime, and this collection also focuses on the forces of law enforcement and nineteenth-century attempts to "read" the criminal body as revealed in Victorian crime fiction and reportage. Contributors engage with the detective figure and his growing professionalization, while examining the role of science and technology - both at home and in the Empire - in solving cases.
