ROGUES RAKES AND ROBBERS: TRUE CRIME/ GEORGIAN (HB)

Discover tales of real-life murders, manslaughters, assaults and arson that took place in Georgian Wales and the borders, which give us a window onto ordinary people whose lives would otherwise be lost from the historical record. From courtship rituals to the value of horses, Georgian attitudes to sex work and insanity, vulnerable adults and fraud, each chapter uses documents from Wales’s Court of Great Sessions to illuminate the past.
