Guide to the Criminal Prisons of Nineteenth-Century England
Contains critical information about operational dates, locations, jurisdictions, population statistics, appearances in primary and secondary sources and lists of surviving archives for 844 English prisons used to confine those accused and convicted of crime in the period 1800-1899.
Illiterate Inmates
This book tells the story of the emergence, at the turn of the nineteenth century, of a powerful idea—the provision of education in prisons for those accused and convicted of crime—and its execution over the century that followed. Using evidence from both local and convict prisons, the book shows how education became part of the modern penal regime. While the curriculum largely reflected that of mainstream elementary schools, the delivery of educ…
Barry Anthony, Murder, Mayhem and Music Hall
“Rather than walk along the Strand,” Barry Anthony tells us, at the end of the 19th century “the comedian Dan Leno found it cheaper to take a cab from one end to the other”, as on foot his progress was impeded by the desperate and the criminal, beggars and swindlers, on the look out for mugs who would give them some cash (p. 129). Today, you are far more likely to suffer from the intolerable traffic fumes belched out by the many cars and buses wh…
Educating the labouring poor in nineteenth-century Suffolk
This article demonstrates the utility of a new source, prison registers, for the history of literacy and education in nineteenth-century England. It focuses on two sets of prison registers from the two county gaols in Suffolk, located at Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds, which contain personal information on 16,690 individuals over the period 1840 to 1878. First, the article examines the context in which personal information about prisoners was record…
Karl Bell. The Legend of Spring-Heeled Jack
Nineteenth-century British popular culture spawned a gallery of antiheroes. While some had a basis in fact, all became larger than life in the popular imagination. During the last decade, cultural historians have paid closer attention to these characters, using in-depth analyses of their emergence, proliferation through multiple genres, and reception by audiences to expose intricacies in the evolution and function of popular culture. Karl Bell's …
The History of Reading, Volume 3
We inhabit a textually super-saturated and increasingly literate world. This volume encourages readers to consider the diverse methodologies used by historians of reading globally, and indicates how f
From Sawney Beane to Sweeney Todd
This article traces the changes and continuities in fictional stories of serial murder in London from the late-seventeenth century to the mid-nineteenth century. In particular, it shows how changes in the primary audience for metropolitan popular culture necessitated dramatic shifts in the tale of serial killing and narratives of violence. Thus, by the nineteenth century, as the lower classes had become the main supporters of both traditional and…
Reappraising Victorian Literacy through Prison Records
Since the Registrar General began to count the signatures and marks made by brides and grooms in parish registers across England in 1839, contemporaries and later historians have used this data to describe rates of literacy during the Victorian period. Evidence from the marriage registers only tells us about the literacy of the marrying population at any given point in time. Moreover, by distinguishing between those who could read and write and t…
Crime – and its Fabrication
MR and MRS Punch in Nineteenth-Century England
This article examines the changes and continuities in the depiction of the violent relationship between the popular glove-puppets, Punch and Judy, over the course of the nineteenth century. While the puppet show emerged as a low-brow street entertainment during the first decades of the nineteenth century, by 1850 it had been hijacked by the middle and upper classes, and began to appear with increasing frequency in fashionable drawing rooms. At th…
