Beskrivning
By reading two bodies of literature not normally read together – the outlaw literature and espionage literature – Conor McCarthy shows how these genres represent and critique the longstanding use of legal exclusion as a means of supporting state power. Texts discussed range from the medieval Robin Hood ballads, Shakespeare’s history plays, and versions of the Ned Kelly story to contemporary writing by John le Carré, Don DeLillo, Ciaran Carson and William Gibson.

Recensioner i media

Outlaws and Spies will be of interest to those who study the history of nation states and the relationship between governments and their peoples, in both the real and imagined worlds … McCarthy's work is timely, as we continue to live in an era of growing uncertainty regarding the delineation between state power, particularly concerning covert surveillance and propaganda, and the basic human rights of individual autonomy and protection of the law.
