Trials of passion : crimes in the name of love and madness

Appignanesi, Lisa2016

When passion is in the picture, what is criminal, what sane, what mad or simply bad? Through court and asylum records, letters and newspaper accounts, this book brings to life a period when the psychiatric professions were consolidating their hold on our understanding of what is human.
