Title: The Trial of Lizzie Borden Pdf
The Trial of Lizzie Borden tells the true story of one of the most sensational murder trials in American history. When Andrew and Abby Borden were brutally hacked to death in Fall River, Massachusetts, in August 1892, the arrest of the couple’s younger daughter Lizzie turned the case into international news and her trial into a spectacle unparalleled in American history. Reporters flocked to the scene. Well-known columnists took up conspicuous seats in the courtroom. The defendant was relentlessly scrutinized for signs of guilt or innocence. Everyone—rich and poor, suffragists and social conservatives, legal scholars and laypeople—had an opinion about Lizzie Borden’s guilt or innocence. Was she a cold-blooded murderess or an unjustly persecuted lady? Did she or didn’t she?
The popular fascination with the Borden murders and its central enigmatic character has endured for more than one hundred years. Immortalized in rhyme, told and retold in every conceivable genre, the murders have secured a place in the American pantheon of mythic horror, but one typically wrenched from its historical moment. In contrast, Cara Robertson explores the stories Lizzie Borden’s culture wanted and expected to hear and how those stories influenced the debate inside and outside of the courtroom. Based on transcripts of the Borden legal proceedings, contemporary newspaper accounts, unpublished local accounts, and recently unearthed letters from Lizzie herself, The Trial of Lizzie Borden offers a window onto America in the Gilded Age, showcasing its most deeply held convictions and its most troubling social anxieties.
I am so disappointed. I was so looking forward to this book. But at 12% on the Kindle where Mr. Knowlton “mansplained” some information to Lizzie, I’m done. This pejorative word really caught in my chest and tells me this book probably isn’t for me (male). I am so disappointed.Excellent, must have! So to be honest, I was expecting another rehash of the Lizzie Borden events. So my expectations were low. I saw this via the Fall River Historical society Facebook page so I came to Amazon to order my copy. I had not heard of this author before but am always interested in any books about the crime. What I gotwas a very well written, cleverly constructed account. It was rather refreshing and I would highlyrecommend this to anyone who has interest in Lizzie Borden! Big kudos to the author for writing such a great account and keeping in fresh and new all at the same time!What Are You Really Interested In? Before you buy this book, ask yourself what you are really interested in. Are you interested in the tale of Lizzie Borden? Are you interested in the legend? Lizzie, herself? Are you interested in the life and theories of inconsequential newsmen and women? Maybe a scholar or two who has something to say about new ways of discovering data...but has nothing really to do with Lizzie Borden. So many of us see "Lizzie Borden" in a title and immediately click on it, wrongfully assuming that it will be another excellent read. And that's where you will be woefully disappointed. I'm not blaming anyone for me buying this kindle read. But it was not what I thought it would be. I'm not interested in far fetched ideas that are thrown in for no other reason than to throw them in. What does it have to do with the case of Lizzie Borden. Nothing. I don't need to know about the lawyers and their upbringing and law school. These are people who would be nothing in history, if not for Lizzie Borden. I want to hear about HER. Just a really awful book.
