Explores the life of Madeleine Smith, who in 1857 was tried for poisoning her secret lover. This book draws on a wide range of sources to pursue themes such as the nature of gender relations and the extent of women's social and commercial activities, and to bring vividly to life the world of the mid-Victorian middle class.
