Everyday Violence in Britain, 1850-1950 - D'Cruze, Shani a Crewe, Ivor

This collection looks at the historical experience of violence, and at the ways in which it has been used as a means of gaining power in social relations. It examines how violent behaviour has been used by some social groups against others, the way in which institutions, politicians and the professions have treated violence, and how it has been represented in literature and wider culture.
