Considering the literary achievements and cultural engagements of poetry while historicizing murder's entanglement in legal fictions, punitive practices, medical theories, class conflicts, and gender codes, O'Brien argues that shifting approaches to poetry and conflicted understandings of murder allowed poets to align problems of legal and literary interpretation in provocative, disruptive, and innovative ways. O'Brien's Crime in Verse grants the same attention and status to poetic representations of crime. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, Victorian scholars have produced many nuanced studies connecting the politics of crime to the generic developments of the novel-and vice versa.
