Murder in the Tower: and Other Tales from the State Trials de Alan Wharam

Murder in the Tower: and Other Tales from the State Trials

Autor Alan Wharam
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 sep 2001
Murder in the Tower consists of fifteen chapters, each giving an account of a different 17th-century criminal trial. Each case is based on information taken from a collected volume of state trials originally published in the early 18th century. The cases are chosen for their national political importance, or for the light they can shed on wider social issues.
