Explores the life of Madeleine Smith, who in 1857 was tried for poisoning her secret lover. Charting the course of this illicit relationship and Madeleine's subsequent trial, this title draws on a range of sources to pursue themes such as the nature of gender relations and the extent of women's social and commercial activities.
