This chronicle of ten controversial mid-Victorian trials features
brother versus brother, aristocrats fighting commoners, an imposter
to a family's fortune, and an ex-priest suing his ex-wife, a nun.
Most of these trials-never before analyzed in depth-assailed a
culture that frowned upon public displays of bad taste, revealing
fault lines in what is traditionally seen as a moral and regimented
society. The author examines religious scandals, embarrassments
about shaky family trees, and even arguments about which
architecture is most likely to convert people from one faith to
another.
