While it might be expected that crime and self-defence would be linked, this given is not usually - or perhaps has not previously been - critically studied in depth. Emelyne Godfrey's book innovatively addresses this lack. Godfrey contextualises self-defence in terms of print culture, history, politics, laws, cultural attitudes and responses to crime and violence, fashion history and gender relations (specifically focusing on contrasting visions of masculinity). These investigations are illustrated with interesting pictures and figures... This informative book is thoroughly recommended for anyone who has interest in gender studies, Victorian fiction and crime fiction.' - Routledge ABES June 2011 Not only of interest to theatre historians, [ Victorian Pantomime ] will also prove useful to students and scholars in the disciplines of Victorian studies, cultural studies, and popular entertainment.' - Simon Sladen, New Theatre Quarterly Author InformationJACKY BRATTON Professor of Theatre and Cultural History, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK ANN FEATHERSTONE Performance Historian in the Department of Drama, University of Manchester, UK RICHARD FOULKES Emeritus Professor of Theatre History, University of Leicester, UK DAVID MAYER Emeritus Professor of Drama and Research Professor, University of Manchester, UK JANICE NORWOOD Lecturer in English Literature, University of Hertfordshire, UK CAROLINE RADCLIFFE Lecturer in Drama and Theatre Arts, University of Birmingham, UK JEFFREY RICHARDS Professor of Cultural History, Lancaster University, UK JO ROBINSON Head of Drama in the School of English Studies, University of Nottingham, UK JILL A.
