A. Miller examines nineteenth-century Western liberal culture’s systems of social control through the literary lens of the police. Rather than focusing on policing in its modern institutional form, it analyzes how less visible, less violent mechanisms spread beyond the streets. The foreword frames the book around “discipline,” linking surveillance, the regime of the norm, and technologies of the self to policing’s broader cultural ramifications.","The Novel and the Police  \nD.

It is as though, unless the work at once assumed its most densely professional form, it would somehow get unplugged from whatever power station (the academy, the specialization) enables it to speak. Nothing expresses—or allays—this separation anxiety better than the protocol requiring an introduction to \"situate\" the work within its institutional and discursive matrix. The same nervous ritual that attests a positive dread of being asocial—offailing to furnish the proper authorities with one's papers, and vice versa—places these possibilities at an infinite remove from a writing whose thorough assimilation, courted from the start, makes it too readable to need to be read much further. If only for this reason, the moment when \"explanations are in order'' may rightly give rise to the desire to withhold them (like Balzac's Vautrin, whose last words to the police as they open his closets and seize his effects are \"Vous ne saurez rien\") long enough, at any rate, to draw attention to what is most compelling in the demand for them.  \nAnd the police? In entrusting the arresting character of my title to a term whose mere mention arouses some anxiety (not necessarily least in the law abiding), I admit tomelodramatizing—even atthe risk of seeming tomisname—the main con  \n","cbCaitGgRBNyMYbv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitGgRBNyMYbv","pdf",1189862,5,1,236,"English","en",105,"# Foreword\n## The Novel and the Police\n## From roman policier to roman police: Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone\n## Discipline in Different Voices: Bureaucracy, Police, Family, and Bleak House\n## The Novel as Usual: Trollope's Barchester Towers\n## Cage aux folles: Sensation and Gender in Wilkie Collins's The Woman in White\n## Secret Subjects, Open Secrets\n## Index","[{\"question\":\"Which elements of discipline does the foreword highlight?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights unseen-but-all-seeing surveillance, a regime of the norm with normalizing sanctions and prescriptions, and technologies of the self that cultivate continuous “pastoral” care.\"}]","The Novel and the Police | PDF",1785482612,363,{"code":4,"msg":32,"data":33},"ok",{"site_id":25,"language":24,"slug":34,"title":13,"keywords":35,"description":14,"schema_data":36,"social_meta":79,"head_meta":81,"extra_data":83,"updated_unix":29},"the-novel-and-the-police","",{"@graph":37,"@context":78},[38,54,69],{"@type":39,"itemListElement":40},"BreadcrumbList",[41,45,48,51],{"item":42,"name":43,"@type":44,"position":21},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":46,"name":47,"@type":44,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":49,"name":12,"@type":44,"position":50},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":52,"name":13,"@type":44,"position":53},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-novel-and-the-police/116066/",4,{"url":52,"name":13,"@type":55,"author":56,"headline":13,"publisher":58,"fileFormat":61,"inLanguage":24,"description":14,"dateModified":62,"datePublished":63,"encodingFormat":61,"isAccessibleForFree":64,"interactionStatistic":65},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":57},"Person",{"url":42,"name":59,"@type":60},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-08-23","2026-07-31",true,{"@type":66,"interactionType":67,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":68},"ViewAction",{"@type":70,"mainEntity":71},"FAQPage",[72],{"name":73,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":75},"Which elements of discipline does the foreword highlight?","Question",{"text":76,"@type":77},"It highlights unseen-but-all-seeing surveillance, a regime of the norm with normalizing sanctions and prescriptions, and technologies of the self that cultivate continuous “pastoral” care.","Answer","https://schema.org",{"og:url":52,"og:type":80,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":59,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":82,"canonical":52},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":25},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":85},[86,90,93,97,101,106,111,116,121,124,128],{"id":21,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":87,"show_sort_weight":88,"slug":89},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":91,"slug":92},80,"literature",{"id":53,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":94,"show_sort_weight":95,"slug":96},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":98,"show_sort_weight":99,"slug":100},"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":102,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":103,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":105},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":107,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":108,"show_sort_weight":109,"slug":110},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":112,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":113,"show_sort_weight":114,"slug":115},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":118,"show_sort_weight":119,"slug":120},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":122,"show_sort_weight":119,"slug":123},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":126,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":127},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":129,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":130,"show_sort_weight":20,"slug":131},19,"General","general"]
