As the
Law and Humanities blog mentions, Robert E. Rains (Penn State Dickinson Law) discusses in
a new article the many crimes of
Mary Elizabeth Braddon's Lady Audley of
Lady Audley's Secret (1862) from a legal perspective. The charges that he believes "a crusading prosecutor might have leveled against Lady A" include arson, attempted murder, bigamy, and manslaughter, and he criticizes the "rather slow" and "lazy" barrister Sir Robert Audley.
