About this book

Alfred Marks, who also wrote on the death of Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey and on the Van Eyck brothers, here follows the history of Tyburn, the London gallows, through its annals. His preface calls the story noble in places, squalid and pathetic in others, and argues that it still bears on how far a state should reach into daily life. A page of quotations from Thomas More, Chief Justice Fortescue, Henry Fielding and Mrs. Fry sets out English attitudes to the gallows, and the frontispiece shows a gibbet on Kennington Common about 1748.
