For any student of the contemporary arts, it should be apparent that crime and passion go hand in hand, and few cultural works can be said to evade these categories entirely. Indeed, the terms themselves, 'crime' and 'passion', are more complex than they may initially appear to be, and their application in studying the arts is rich with potential. This module, along with its companion (which covers the period since 1900), will give students some insight into what these terms might mean, and how they have impacted on popular culture through the ages.
