Life and Death of the Wicked Lady Skelton by Magdalen King-Hall, Rowland Hughes (Introduction)
Requirements: EPUB Reader, 985 KB | Version: Retail
Overview: First published in 1944, Magdalen King-Hall’s Life and Death of the Wicked Lady Skelton is a historical novel set in late-seventeenth-century England. It tells the story of Barbara Skelton, a well-born young woman trapped in a loveless marriage, who finds escape from the tedium of her life by leading a double life as a highway robber. Rich in historical detail and high on melodrama, the novel follows Barbara’s infamous career of robbery, adultery and murder, without painting her entirely as a monster. Indeed, the novel’s status as a bestseller owes much to King-Hall’s sympathetic depiction of the frustrations of domestic life for an ambitious, intelligent woman with no means of self-expression.
