Descrizione del libro
Turned to Account is a study that focuses on the popular genre of criminal biography, examining how it played upon and reflected English society's fears and interest in aberrant behaviour. Faller examines ways in which ordinary Englishmen read, wrote and presumably thought on the subject of criminal actions and character.
