In 1686 in Geneva, a single mother named Jeanne Catherine Thomasset
is charged with poisoning two young children: her own illegitimate
daughter and the son of a rural wet nurse. So begins a harrowing
criminal trial during which authorities interrogate Jeanne
Catherine several times, sometimes with torture, to determine the
truth. The Trial of Jeanne Catherine is a suspenseful historical
mystery that offers students the opportunity to learn about
motherhood, child rearing, gender, religion, local politics, and
the practice of criminal justice in early modern Europe. This
edition provides the complete trial transcript as well as the
deliberations of the Genevan authorities and relevant
correspondence.
