Book excerpt: Excerpt from The London Prisons, With an Account of the More Distinguished, Persons Who Have Been Confined in Them: To Which Is Added a Description of Chief Provincial Prisons The latter circumstance led me also to enlarge the plan, so as to take in the Past as well as the Present -thc Political Dungeon as well as the Felon's Cell. The papers had, consequently, to be rewritten and greatly increased in length in fact, they can only be considered as the germs of the present work, two thirds of which' is entirely new. A few words will suffice as to the sources whence my information is derived. So far as regards the actual condition of the various prisons, all the state ments are made from personal knowledge and on my own responsibility. The details given in respect to their past history are nearly all gleaned from my own reading. The Tower only excepted, the London prisons have never yet found a historian a case of neglect by no means merited, considering how closely they are connected with the social and literary history of our country. Nearly all the information which is still extant lies widely scattered in plays, poems, letters, biographies, and sermons. It was not my purpose - as will be found explained elsewhere to collect these fragments; but I have not omitted to weave into my work such of them as seemed to me to possess a peculiar interest, anecdotical, social, or literary. I indulge in the hope that this volume will supply a long-felt desideratum in the literature of our domestic history.

Book excerpt: Metaphors of Confinement: The Prison in Fact, Fiction, and Fantasy offers a historical survey of imaginings of the prison as expressed in carceral metaphors in a range of texts about imprisonment from Antiquity to the present as well as non-penal situations described as confining or restrictive. These imaginings coalesce into a 'carceral imaginary' that determines the way we think about prisons, just as social debates about punishment and criminals feed into the way carceral imaginary develops over time. Examining not only English-language prose fiction but also poetry and drama from the Middle Ages to postcolonial, particularly African, literature, the book juxtaposes literary and non-literary contexts and contrasts fictional and nonfictional representations of (im)prison(ment) and discussions about the prison as institution and experiential reality. It comments on present-day trends of punitivity and foregrounds the ethical dimensions of penal punishment. The main argument concerns the continuity of carceral metaphors through the centuries despite historical developments that included major shifts in policy (such as the invention of the penitentiary). The study looks at selected carceral metaphors, often from two complementary perspectives, such as the home as prison or the prison as home, or the factory as prison and the prison as factory. The case studies present particularly relevant genres and texts that employ these metaphors, often from a historical perspective that analyses development through different periods.
