Murder is doubtless a very shocking offence, nevertheless as what is done is not to be undone, let us make our money out of it.' PunchMurder in the 19th century was rare. But murder as sensation and entertainment became ubiquitous - transformed into novels, into broadsides and ballads, into theatre and melodrama and opera - even into puppet shows and performing dog-acts.In this meticulously researched and compelling book, Judith Flanders - author of `The Victorian House' - retells the gruesome stories of many different types of murder - both famous and obscure. From the crimes (and myths) of Sweeney Todd and Jack the Ripper, to the tragedies of the murdered Marr family in London's East End, Burke and Hare and their bodysnatching business in Edinburgh, and Greenacre who transported his dismembered fiancee around town by omnibus.With an irresistible cast of swindlers, forgers, and poisoners, the mad, the bad and the dangerous to know, `The Invention of Murder' is both a gripping tale of crime and punishment, and history at its most readable.

Detective fiction and the new police force developed in parallel, each imitating the other - the founders of Scotland Yard gave rise to Dickens' Inspector Bucket, the first fictional police detective, who in turn influenced Sherlock Holmes and, ultimately, even P. D. James and Patricia Cornwell.--- Flanders uses the stories of murder - from the brutal to the pathetic - to build up a rich and multi-faceted portrait of Victorian society. Filled to the brim with swindlers, forgers, poisoners and all-round bad hats, The Invention of Murder is both a gripping tale of crime and punishment, and history at its most readable.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***"Dare I say it would be a crime not to read this book?" - Donna Leon (Review quote taken from the back panel) ***First impression of the true first edition in its original dustwrapper in near fine bright condition. Nicely illustrated and extremely detailed - of interest to scholars and collectors of Victorian history and literature first edition titles. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
