Description

Hardback. New. The early modern execution was far more than a spectator sport. The period between the Restoration and the American Revolution witnessed the rise and fall of execution literature: last speeches and confessions; criminal trials and biographies, featuring the criminal as an Everyman (or Everywoman) holding up a mirror to the sins of his readers.
