INDEX

Americans have had an uneasy fascination
with crime since the earliest European settlements in the
New World, and right from the start true crime became
a dominant genre in American writing. True Crimean
American Anthology offers the first comprehensive look
at the many ways in which American writers have ex¬
plored crime in a multitude of aspects: the dark motives
that spur it, the shock of its impact on society, the effort
to make sense of the violent extremes of human behav¬
ior. The human community, as Harold Schechter notes
in his introduction, finding itself under assault from
within, searches desperately for a framework or context
to explain the apparently unexplainable.
Here is the full spectrum of the true-crime genre,
from William Bradford s account of the hanging of a
murderer who came over on the Mayflower to Dominick
Dunne s narrative of the case of the Menendez brothers.
It focuses on some of the most notorious criminal cases
in American history: the Helen Jewett murder, the as¬
sassination of President Garfield, the Snyder-Gray mur¬
der (the inspiration for Double Indemnity), Leopold and
Loeb, the Lindbergh kidnapping, the Black Dahlia, the
Manson
family, the Son of Sam.
True Crime presents the writing of a range of signif¬
icant literary figures: Nathaniel Hawthorne s account
of a visit to a waxworks exhibit of infamous crimes,
Ambrose Bierce offering a cynical run-down of crime
in
19th-century
California, Mark Twain on frontier vio¬
lence, New England poet
Celia
Thaxter on a shocking
double killing, Theodore Dreiser observing a murder
trial eerily reminiscent of his own American Tragedy,
James Thurber revisiting the Hall-Mills murder case,
Joseph
Mitchell
reporting on an execution, Elizabeth
Hardwick interpreting the criminal career of Caryl
Chessman, Truman Capote interviewing
Manson
as¬
sociate Bobby Beausoleil. It draws as well on sources
as varied as execution sermons, murder ballads, early
broadsides and trial reports, and tabloid journalism of
different eras. It also features the influential true-crime
writing of best-selling contemporary practitioners like
James
Ellroy, Gay
Tálese,
Albert Borowitz, and Ann
Rule.
Hakold Schschtkk, editor, is a professor of American
literature at Queens College, the City University of New
York. He is the author of more than two dozen books and is
best known for his historical true-crime accounts, most re¬
cently The Devil s Gentleman: Privilege, Poison, and the Trial
That Ushered in the Twentieth Century
(2007).
He is also the
author of six novels, including a mystery series featuring
Edgar Allan
Poe.
