We've heard the rhyme: Lizzie Borden took an axe, And gave her
mother forty whacks, When she saw what she had done, She gave her
father forty-one. But what do we really know about this infamous
case of murder that occurred over one hundred years ago? Lizzie
Borden Took an Axe, or Did She? is a collection of essays, written
by a teacher-scholar (and a former Prosecutor's Detective), that
that explore various interesting questions that have virtually
remained unexplained for over one hundred years. What was Lizzie
Borden's sexual orientation? Why did Lizzie Borden change her name
after her public acquittal? What is the value of Edwin Porter's The
Fall River Tragedy then and now? What role did media and gender
play in this public spectacle? What was the relationship between
John Morse and Bridget Sullivan? These and other questions are
explored through rhetorical, narrative, and common sense theories
to help us critically engage this captivating case. Whether you are
reading this book for a class or reading it for fun outside of an
academic setting, this book was written to engage the story of
Lizzie Andrew Borden from refreshing new perspectives.
