Focusing on the case of William Palmer, a medical doctor who in 1856 was convicted of murder by poisoning, it examines how his case baffled toxicologists, doctors, detectives and judges. The investigation commences with an overview of the practice of toxicology in the Victorian era, and goes on to explore the demands imposed by legal testimony on scientific work to convict criminals. In addressing Palmer's trial, Burney focuses on the testimony of Alfred Swaine Taylor, a leading expert on poisons, and integrates the medical, legal and literary evidence to make sense of the trial itself and the sinister place of poison in wider Victorian society. Ian Burney has produced an exemplary work of cultural history, mixing a keen understanding of the contemporary social and cultural landscape with the scientific and medical history of the period. 606 $aCriminal investigation$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPoisoning$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aToxicology$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 610 $aVictorian imagination. 610 $aWilliam Palmer. 610 $acrime of civilization. 610 $acriminal poisoning. 610 $alegislative framework. 610 $amodern poison. 610 $apoison detection. 610 $apoison hunter. 610 $ascientific engagement. 610 $atoxicological knowledge. 615 0$aCriminal investigation$xHistory 615 0$aPoisoning$xHistory 615 0$aToxicology$xHistory 676 $a364.1523092 700 $aBurney$b Ian A$01102512 712 02$aManchester University Press.$4pbl 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794595903321 996 $aPoison, detection and the Victorian imagination$93748985 997 $aUNINA
