Reviews"Sighele's work translated here into English for the first time offers a valuable contribution to the study of crowds, criminality, and the woman question at the turn of the twentieth century. It is a crucial text for anyone interested in the ways in which Italian intellectuals negotiated the social dynamics that emerged after the unification of Italy at the end of the nineteenth century."--Elena Coda, Associate Professor of Italian, Purdue University "Nicoletta Pireddu removes the false lights that have obscured the pioneering studies of crowds by Scipio Sighele and places his rich contribution in its historical and intellectual context, successfully reviving an important stream of thought for his time and ours."--Filippo Sabetti, Professor of Political Science, McGill University

SynopsisThe Criminal Crowd and Other Writings on Mass Society is the first collection in English of writings by Italian jurist, sociologist, and cultural and literary critic Scipio Sighele (1868-1913). In post-unification Italy and internationally Sighele was an important figure in contemporary debates on such issues as popular unrest, the problematic borders between individual and collective accountability, the role of urbanization in the development of criminality, and the emancipation of women. This volume draws an intricate portrait of a provocative thinker and public intellectual caught between tradition and modernity in fin de siècle Europe. It features new English translations of Sighele's seminal work, The Criminal Crowd, along with a selection of his later studies on criminality and on individual and group behaviour. Nicoletta Pireddu's introduction and annotation provide valuable context and insights on Sighele's contribution to the emerging field of collective psychology, on his relationships with his predecessors Cesare Lombroso and Enrico Ferri and with his French rivals Gustave Le Bon and Gabriel Tarde, and on the significant scientific, literary, and cultural developments of his time., The Criminal Crowd and Other Writings on Mass Society is the first collection in English of writings by Italian jurist, sociologist, and cultural and literary critic Scipio Sighele (1868-1913).
