About
My project, funded by the ARC Centre for the History of Emotions (www.emotions.uwa.edu.au), looks at emotional responses to public execution. In particular, I examine the use of song and verse in accounts of crimes and executions across early modern Europe (English, French, Italian and German), looking at how music, balladry and performance played a central role in the production and consumption of cheap print and early news media.
