Review: Stalking by Bran Nicol
Alistair John recently reviewed Bran Nicol's Stalking on the UK-based Culture Wars site. John focuses on the long history of stalking, its connection to romance, and its surprisingly recent emergence as a crime under various legal systems.
Although John faults Nicol for not extending his history of stalking to include the pre-history of stalking, he goes on to praise the book:
Ultimately, however, Nicol offers a fascinating analysis of one [of] our epoch's most ubiquitous and fascinating facets. What is clear is that regardless of how much we may speak of the phenomenon, and how ubiquitous a phenomenon we may think it, stalking is more ingrained in our culture than we think it , or wish it, to be.
