Summary:
"The remarkable new account of an essential piece of American mythology--the
trial
of
Lizzie
Borden--based on twenty years of research and recently unearthed evidence. 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legal proceedings, contemporary newspaper accounts, unpublished local accounts, and recently unearthed letters from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"--From publisher.
