The Faces of Crime and Genius is the first definitive treatment of the genius~criminal. The crimes of the seven men and one woman who appear in this book range from the embezzlement of a few thousand dollars to genocide and mass murder, from piracy to simple violation of a king's edict against dueling. On occasions, their genius changed the shape of a continent. At other times, it merely initiated a new literary trend. Who were they? Gilles de Rais: protector of the sainted Joan of Arc. He fought her battles and won her wars. He was an incorruptible patriot and a generous patron of art and science. Then he became Europe's most fiendish monster. Catherine de Medici: the winsome little commoner who became Queen of France. A great stateswoman and patron of the French ballet, she adopted murder as a state policy. William Dampier: a brutal pirate whose genius helped lay the basis for many sciences. John Law: the Scottish boy~genius who dueled, gambled, and wenched his way across Europe. He became the most powerful figure in France, plunging the nation into an inflationary chaos that helped cause the French Revolution 70 years later. Edward Gibbon Wakefield: a man who kidnapped a teen~aged heiress. A shocked and puritanical England never forgave him. But the ideas that poured out of his brilliant mind saved the British Empire. Paul Verlaine: as a human being he sank to degraded depths, but as a poet he reached the most sublime heights. O. Henry: an embezzler. Even the judge and prosecutor considered him a "good guy." While in prison, he perfected the surprise~ending form of short story that carved a place for him in American literary history. Jack London: a juvenile delinquent, thief, drunkard, revolutionary socialist, and racist. He labored for a dime an hour, but he became the world's highest paid writer. The Faces of Crime and Genius, illustrated with photographs of the people it discusses is replete with interesting historical and biographical facts. It will be invaluable to students, scholars, and curious readers.
