100 Great Criminal Dramas of the 19th Century

Modern society undoubtedly differs from that which existed in the 19th century, but to a great extent inherits its mistakes and possesses similar characteristics. The proposed book examines the causes of the most characteristic crimes of the past century, which had a tremendous influence on the formation of our culture and national identity in the 20th and 21st centuries. It is also important to remember that the 19th century, as a century of outstanding literature, could not help but reflect the history and psychology of crime in artistic works. The 20th century made this criminal history the property of cinema, which influenced the formation of the national identity of the USA. This book tells about how the criminal heroes were perceived by the people of the past and how society viewed crime.
