History professor Hartmann examines some of the most celebrated murderesses of the nineteenth century. She looks at thirteen French and English women accused of stabbing, shooting, beating and poisoning their victims. The book looks at the murderesses with the filter of women and their role in the social history of the times. Case studies include Madeleine Smith, Florence Maybrick, and Florence Bravo.
Book is in excellent condition. Pages are intact, unmarked and uncreased, clean and bright. Cloth covers are clean and tight. There is a single large 'D' in crayon (potentially removable) on the rear pastedown. The dust jacket is clean, unclipped but a biro mark through the original price. There is also half an original WH Smith sticker which had been stuck over the front flap and the pastedown, and a small stain on the dedication page. But altogether a really nice copy. All now protected in professional clear book wrapper. 318 pp with extensive notes, bibliography and index
