- Outsider Biographies (344 pp.) is the result of more than a decade of research on life-writing about seven authors who were also criminals. Over ten chapters, it compares both English- and French-language biographies and bio-fiction published between 1744 and 2000 and was termed �wide-ranging� and �substantial� by independent reviewers Jane Darcy of KCL and Jean-Marc Moura of the Universit� de Paris-Ouest. The underpinning research was carried out in libraries in Liverpool, Paris, London and Vienna and presented at the University of Lancaster, the School of Advanced Studies, University of London and opened the first colloquium on Jean Genet at Cerisy.
