Overview
What you will study
Whether fictional or real, society has a peculiar obsession with homicide, and it is an obsession with a rich history. Beginning with the infamous case of Alice Arden of Faversham in 1550, this one-day event will see students explore the cultural and social history of murder - from genuine cases to fictional representations.
In The History of Homicide course offered by University of Oxford, we’ll cover early modern homicide cases, evolving definitions of (and punishments for) homicide, the beginnings of crime detection, the so-called ‘golden age’ of murder, and also how literature has worked to shape our understanding of homicide - from moralising early modern pamphlets and Thomas de Quincey’s 'On Murder' to Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- No-one shall sleep in their own house or bed un-killed: homicide in Early Modern England
- Public opinion and policing: murder in the long eighteenth century
- Murder and the music hall
- Panel discussion: crime literature and modern justice
