Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of case studies analyzing the criminal lives of several prominent figures from the 18th century. Among them is Mary Blandy, a 25-year-old woman who, desperate to marry her impoverished lover, sought the aid of a purported love potion to win her father's approval. The author argues that the love potion was in fact arsenic, and the jury at the time of Blandy's trial found her guilty of parricide. Through the lens of Blandy's life and crime, the author takes a broader view on criminal history, exploring how major societal events and changes in the criminal justice system shaped the nature of crime and punishment during the Georgian era.
