Description:
Through a study of a 19th-century case of uxoricide in Ireland--in which a woman was publicly burned at the stake by her husband--a historian unravels many layers of Anglo-Irish politics and history, issues of gender and marriage, the role of the Catholic church, and the part that folklore played among the populace.The act involved a belief in fairies and changelings, and was used by the English to enflame anti-Irish sentiment.
