Now in its second edition, Stories of True Crime in Tudor and Stuart England has been
updated to include more texts about witchcraft, murder, and sexual deviance and
discussions about the historical climate within which crimes occurred; voice and
print culture; and types of crime and criminals. This volume contains modernized and annotated chapbooks related to crimes
such as murder, theft, infanticide, rape, and witchcraft with accompanying
illustrations that depict the acts and punishments of criminals in Tudor and Stuart
England. In this edition, special attention has been paid to demonstrating significant
overlaps and encouraging students to question authors’ reasonings behind including
multiple crimes in a single work. Alongside this, further useful prompts have been
included to stimulate discussion about why parables were used to open chapbooks,
the historical context underpinning certain criminal acts, the value of these sources
to scholars, and how certain texts compare and contrast with others. With five new chapters and an updated introduction and bibliography, the
second edition of Stories of True Crime in Tudor and Stuart England is an essential
resource for all students of crime and punishment in early modern England.
