Book Synopsis Sexual Slander in Nineteenth-century England by : S. M. Waddams
Book excerpt: Until 1855, slanderous language was punishable in Britain's ecclesiastical courts. Waddams shows how the law worked not only in theory but in practice. The evidence of the witnesses supplies fascinating details of day-to-day events.
