People in the past were just as interested in extreme violence and homicide as people nowadays. In seventeenth-century England all excessive and gratuitous violence was condemned and prosecuted, with murderers being categorized as particularly wicked. The courtrooms where murderers were tried were packed and crowds attended their execution. Ballads about notorious cases and prints reflected the huge interest such cases generated. Yet, in a world with no police and little forensic expertise, identification, pursuit and prosecution presented many difficulties. \u003cem\u003eMurder in Shakespeare's England\u003c\/em\u003e looks at a series of murder cases, ranging from brawls to infanticide, and including serial and sex killings, to paint a picture of how murder was committed, discovered and punished in Stuart England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanessa McMahon (Parkins)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1852855363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781852855369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.18w x 0.95d","brand":"Vanessa McMahon (Parkins)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44129639563519,"sku":"9781852855369","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aff4f87a-9ec1-438d-99f1-d996d46db608.jpg?v=1687464998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/murder-in-shakespeares-england-vanessa-mcmahon-parkins-9781852855369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
