Description
Our fascination with murder cases and true crime is nothing new. In early modern England, trials drew crowds of spectators, executions were public proceedings filled with drama, and publications with grisly stories of crime and death were the bestsellers of their day. Here are nine historical crimes, intensely personal stories which portray the lives of real people, pieced together from coroner’s inquests, court records, parish archives, letters, diaries and the cheap street pamphlets that proliferated to satisfy a voracious public.
