Mad Mary Lamb -- Lunacy and Murder in Literary London Book

"An informed and sympathetic portrait of a troubled mind and humble heart." —Kirkus Reviews After killing her mother with a carving knife, Mary Lamb spent the rest of her life in and out of madhouses; yet the crime and its aftermath opened up a new life. Freed to read extensively, she discovered her talent for writing and, with her brother, the essayist Charles Lamb, collaborated on the famous Tales from Shakespeare. This narrative of a nearly forgotten woman is a tapestry of insights into creativity and madness, the changing lives of women, and the redemptive power of the written word. 32 illustrationsRead More
