This unprecedented study draws on a wealth of sources--including forensic psychology, films, literature, news reports, and cultural theory--to examine stalking as a behavior and a social phenomenon. Moving from Samuel Richardson's "Clarissa "to "Fatal Attraction "and from Charles Dickens's "Our Mutual Friend "to "Taxi Driver "and "One Hour Photo," Nicol skillfully probes how stalking has pervaded our civilizatoin for over two hundred years. He then turns his focus to the role that stalking plays in the context of our contemporary media-saturated culture, posing provocative questions about the state of modern society: Have interpersonal relations become increasingly intense or more perverse today? Are we dealing with something truly new, or is stalking simply the latest name for an age-old form of social interaction? "Stalking "also examines cases of deadly obsession with celebrities, such as Jodie Foster, and explores how such fixations are fueled by mass media and the Internet.
A wholly fascinating and groundbreaking investigation into one of the extreme consequences of our hyper-connected age, "Stalking"provides a thorough understanding of this disturbingly compelling abnormality.
