- This represents a decade of research, examining a vast body of primary data (primarily 1860-1900) including: reported criminal cases and Old Bailey Court trials along with reports of these in the press and in journals; linked civil cases; many more cases reported only in the press. Extensive consideration of academic literature crossing disciplines (covering Victorian England, law, crime, gender, family, historical methods/methodology, historical theory) meant the themes/topics were investigated from different perspectives.
Using these sources, the book posits an original argument about gender and law in the late nineteenth century, also developing legal historical methods/methodology considerably in terms of narrative.
