Hi
I've just come across something that strikes me as rather odd in the last
edition of RNIB's Books magazine.
Kate Summerskill's book entitled Mrs Robinson's Disgrace is listed in the
braille section under History but in the Talking Book section it is listed
under True Crime. The description does not mention a crime but a court case.
Mrs Robinson kept a diary in which she wrote of a short, secret
affair but her husband found it and set in motion one of the most
notorious legal cases of the day. Fidelity, insanity, fantasy and the
boundaries of privacy are displayed in a Victorian society clinging
to rigid ideas about marriage and female sexuality.
