Inner Mind As Outer Self: Addressing Problems of Proof Relating to Mens Rea Through the Literary Figure of the Double in Gothic Fiction by Barbara Elin Hughes-Moore Inner Mind as Outer Self: Addressing Problems of Proof relating to Mens Rea through the Literary Figure of the Double in Gothic Fiction By Barbara Elin Hughes-Moore A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Law and Politics, Cardiff University March 2020 For my family i Abstract In formulating a test for determining the defendant’s state of mind at the time of an offence, criminal courts have struggled to maintain a coherent and consistent approach. Located in the context of Law and Literature, which uses literary tools in analysing, understanding and shaping legal thought and action, my research explores problems of proof in criminal law, and the law’s relationship with the internal mind, through the literary figure of the double. Specifically, I will be looking at doubles in Gothic fiction from the nineteenth century, a time which struggled to understand the guilty psyche and personified the internal mind as an external being. By utilising Gothic doubles as a new way of reading doctrinal and theoretical debates regarding mens rea, my thesis aims to prove that doubles in Gothic fiction, specifically in Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus and The Picture of Dorian Gray, can be read as external manifestations of the internal mind; as representations of the criminal law of the nineteenth century which was in the process of developing mens rea. Ultimately, my research aims to provide new and unique ways of engaging with concepts of gender, character and the divide between subjective and objective approaches in cases of recklessness. ii Acknowledgments They say that it takes a village to raise a child, and it’s fair to say that the same can be applied to completing a doctorate. To be surrounded by such constant support is to be truly blessed, so my deepest thanks go first to my inspiring, superlative supervisors, Professors John Harrington and Ambreena Manji. Their constant care in developing my thoughts into a thesis and myself into a researcher is matched only by their generosity of spirit and boundless kindness – this project would not have been possible without them. Many thanks to everyone at Cardiff School of Law and Politics, from the academic and administrative staff to my fellow PGRs. I’m particularly indebted to Professor Jiří Přibáň, Dr Roxanna Dehaghani, Annette Morris, Professor Anthony Mandal and Professor Sune Auken for their invaluable help and guidance. During my PhD I have been fortunate enough to teach on the Evidence Law module, so my so my thanks go to Professor Stewart Field, Michael Edwards, and Dr Holly Greenwood for making my first ever teaching experience a wonderfully rewarding one. To all the friends in Cardiff and beyond who have inspired, motivated and encouraged me, I’m forever grateful – especially to Jordan Hirst, who is all of the Crystal Gems in one. Lastly, but most importantly of all, I thank my family for their undying, unyielding, and untiring support not only throughout the writing of this at-times-seemingly- insurmountable thesis, but throughout my entire life. I would not be where, or who, I am today without these incredible people and a lifetime of their unconditional love and inexhaustible faith. To Mum, Aggy, Grandma, Grandpa Peter and Grandpa Johnny Moore: for all you have sacrificed, for all you have taught me, for all you have fought for – this one’s for you. iii Table of Contents Abstract

  • Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press 2018
    Jan 18 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 164th birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 10 to Jan. 14. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at Annie Moore's, and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morn- ing (followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's). The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker on Thursday evening was Martin Edwards, the award-winning mystery author and commentator on myster- ies, and then The Baker Street Babes' "Daintiest Scream on the Moor Charity Ball" featured the unveiling of a "Cake Boss" cake in the shape of a bust of Sherlock Holmes (to be featured on an upcoming episode of the TV series. Friday's William Gillette Luncheon included a performance by the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street, plus Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan WHIMSEY Award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber), which honors the most whimsical piece in The Serpentine Muse last year, to M.E. Rich. And Otto Penzler's traditional open house at the Mysterious Bookshop provided the usual opportunities to browse and buy. The Irregulars and their guests gathered for the BSI annual dinner at the Yale Club, where Roy Pilot proposed the traditional preprandial first toast to Patricia Izban as The Woman. The annual-dinner agenda included toasts, rituals, and papers, and Mike Whelan (the BSI's "Wiggins") presented this year's Birthday Honours (Irregular Shillings and Investitures) to Shannon Carlisle ("Beacons of the Future!"), Dean Clark ("Watson's Journal"), Denny Dobry ("A Single Large Airy Sitting-Room"), Jeffrey Hatcher ("The Five Or- ange Pips"), Maria Fleischhack ("Rache"), Anastasia Klimchynskaya ("The Old Russian Woman"), Rebecca Romney ("That Gap on That Second Shelf"), Candace Lewis ("A Little Art Jargon"), Nick Martorelli ("Seventeen Steps"), and Al Shaw ("Sir Hugo Baskerville").

Suas obras, ao mesmo tempo incômodas e sedutoras, mas cheias de familiaridade e doçura, geram uma empatia quase imediata junto ao público. Seu trabalho é realizado com uma grande variedade de materiais e linguagens. Com escul- turas feitas de silicone e fibra de vidro, fotografia e vídeo, passando também pelo desenho e pela pintura, as obras de Piccinini nos convidam a refletir acerca de nossos próprios sentimentos, ampliando a compreensão sobre questões complexas e delicadas como a imposição de padrões de beleza, o racismo e a xenofobia. Com uma curadoria que evidencia certa relação alquímica entre natureza e tecnologia no trabalho da artista, a mostra flerta tanto com o surrealismo como com o hiper-realismo, e questiona nossa semelhança e vínculo com os seres criados por ela. Com esta mostra, reforçamos nossa proposta de promover o acesso à cultura para os visitantes e clientes do BB, e propiciamos novas atitudes em relação à arte, além de manter nosso compromisso com a formação do público e dar sentido para a missão de ser um “banco de mercado com espírito público”.
