Rezensionen

"Howe's book is a substantial and significant new work on loss of self-control in homicide cases, and a fine example of how painstaking study of the interrelation of law, literature and culture may pay significant scholarly dividends" Jeremy Horder, The London School of Economics and Political Science, UK.
