It was the greatest scandal of the Jacobean age. In 1616, Frances
Howard and her husband the Earl of Somerset were found guilty of
the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury. Frances Howard was branded a
lewd woman, a wife, a witch, a murderess and a whore, and has gone
down in history as the model of female villainy. But has she been
misjudged? In an examination of both the historical evidence and
cultural representations of Howard, David Lindley presents
important new insights into the case against her. In doing so he
challenges the assumptions that have constructed Howard as a
deviant woman, raising questions not only about how women were
perceived in the 17th century, but how society still judges women
today.
