Book Reviews of The Lizzie Borden Sourcebook
Book Review: Fascinating first-hand accounts
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a compilation of hundreds of newspaper articles in chronological order about the Lizzie Borden case, from initial coverage of the "shocking crime" to news accounts about Lizzie's death decades later. Many articles surprise the reader with their blatant factual errors, while others impress with eloquent writing. Some of the journalists who covered the Borden trial were insightful and gifted writers. The book has no photos, but it does have several dozen pen-and-ink drawings. The book also includes the complete transcript of Lizzie Borden's testimony at the inquest. I would recommend the book to any Borden buff.
Summary of The Lizzie Borden Sourcebook
The Borden murders of a century ago in Fall River, Massachusetts, captured the imagination of the world as had the Jack the Ripper murders a few years earlier in London's West End. Beginning the following year, book after book appeared on the market, each stressing the bias of the writer or nominating another candidate for the role of villain. Until this sourcebook, no one has been content to present the chronicling of events as they unfolded and leave the verdict to the reader. Here you will find reproductions of 41 newspapers, from Fall River to New Orleans to San Francisco, official correspondence and transcripts, as well as information on the plays, opera and ballet inspired by the legendary crimes. Lizzie Borden is an authentic legend, as much a part of Americana as Johnny Appleseed or Billy the Kid. She will remain so, forever condemned by many as guilty of the murders of her father and stepmother though pronounced innocent by a jury of her peers. Welcome to the unsolvable mystery! Welcome to the second hundred years!Women Books
