"""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"
