The Secret Poisoner

The Secret Poisoner

Yale University Press

Murder by poison alarmed, enthralled, and in many ways encapsulated the Victorian age. Linda Stratmann\u2019s dark and splendid social history reveals the nineteenth century as a gruesome battleground where poisoners went head-to-head with authorities who strove to detect poisons, control their availability, and bring the guilty to justice. She corrects many misconceptions about particular poisons and documents how the evolution of issues such as marital rights and the legal protection of children impacted poisonings. Combining archival research with a novelist\u2019s eye, Stratmann charts the era\u2019s inexorable rise of poison cases both shocking and sad.\n\nThe Secret Poisoner \u2013 A Century of Murder\nA Century of Murder\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note: the price advertised is as low as we can go \u2014 we do not accept or respond to offers.
