Murder, Magic, Madness: The Victorian Trials of Dove and the Wizard, 1/e
In 1856 William Dove poisoned his wife, was tried and executed. Believing a fortune teller's prediction that he would remarry a more attractive and richer woman, he made a pact with the devil, hired men to perform magic and then murdered his wife. Davies studies Dove's belief in the supernatural and his involvement with Henry Harrison, a Leeds Wizard. He attempts to explain how the Victorian period was often portrayed as an age of great social and educational progress.
