About this talk

Crime was a rich field for broadside printers. The genre of true crime is not a modern invention, as this talk by Rare Books Librarian Sarah Hume will explore. Crime was a rich field for broadside printers, with murders, arson, poison and executions selling fast and selling well. In-person: For access to the event, please use the Aldermanbury entrance to Guildhall Library/The London Centre. Booking is Essential.
