- This monograph is the culmination of 4 years of sustained research. The extensive chronological scope of the case studies in this book (early seventeenth century to the present) required study of a complex body of sources including: newspaper coverage of the trial and execution of Ruth Snyder (1927-8); coverage of the Amanda Knox trial; close analysis of literary/dramatic texts, historical records, newspaper reports, film and TV media (both dramatic and news/documentary). This multi-layered process was followed by analysis using a synthesis of diverse critical and theoretical approaches to place past and present, fiction and reported fact, in dialogue.
