John Brewer - Sentimental Murder: Love And Madness in the Eighteenth Century

HarperPerennial 2005 Paperback, 448pp. Here is an enduring tale with 'a heady combination of sex, murder and celebrity stalking': in April 1779 a young soldier, James Hackman, murdered the Earl of Sandwich's mistress before attempting suicide. John Brewer investigates the facts of the case and examines the great variety of interpretations of them - prurient, moralizing, gothic, political and romantic - in the ensuing centuries. (ISBN: 9780006552000). Very Good.
