McMAHON, Vanessa MURDER IN SHAKESPEARE'S ENGLAND
London Hambledon & London 2004 1852854227 / 9781852854225 First Edition Hardcover Fine Fine
xxvi+285pp+illus. In Shakespeare's England all excessive and gratuitous violence was condemned and prosecuted, with murderers being categorised as particularly wicked. The courtrooms where they were tried were packed and crowds attended the executions. Yet in a world with no police and little forensic expertise, identification, pursuit and prosecution presented many difficulties. The author looks at a wide range of cases including infanticide, serial and sex killings, to show how murder was committed, discovered and punished. Bibliography and Index.
