Synopsis
Through a study of a 19th-century case of uxoricide in Ireland--in which a woman was publicly burned at the stake by her husband--a historian unravels many layers of Anglo-Irish politics and history, issues of gender and marriage, the role of the Catholic church, and the part that folklore played among the populace.The act involved a belief in fairies and changelings, and was used by the English to enflame anti-Irish sentiment.

Publisher's Note
This vivid account of a woman murdered by her husband and nine of his friends returns to 1895 Ireland to discover why the citizens of rural Tipperary believed innocent Bridget Cleary was in fact a demon. Reprint.

Industry Reviews
"Bourke's book is filled with original thinking about the collision between Irish culture with the modern world."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Tony Mastrogiorgio (09/10/2000)

"Writers from W.B. Yeats to Hubert Butler commented on the Cleary drama. But Bourke's is surely the most painstaking and complete."
Newsday (Long Island, N.Y.) - Anna Mundow (08/20/2000)

"Bourke's tightly constructed and authentically dramatic account sticks close to the details of the case."
New York Times Book Review - David Willis McCullough (10/08/2000)
