Great and Horrible News: Murder and Mayhem in Early Modern Britain by Blessin Adams
Requirements: .M4A/.M4B reader, 218 MB
Overview: In early modern England, murder truly was most foul. Trials were gossipy events packed to the rafters with noisome spectators. Executions were public proceedings which promised not only gore, but desperate confessions and the grandest, most righteous human drama. Bookshops saw grisly stories of crime and death sell like hot cakes. This history unfolds the true stories of murder, criminal investigation, early forensic techniques, high court trials and so much more. These stories are pieced together from original research using coroner’s inquests, court records, parish archives, letters, diaries and the cheap street pamphlets that proliferated to satisfy a voracious public. Great and Horrible News explores the strange history of death and murder in early modern England, yet the stories within may appear shockingly familiar.
