THE WEST PORT AFFAIR The Burke and Hare Murders by Marie-Louise Pailleron
Gorebridge, Midlothian
1 / 1
Description
L'Affaire West Port , a detailed study of the Burke and Hare murders was written by Marie-Louise Pailleron, the highly regarded French Historian, and published in 1937. Thoroughly researched and well written the book was well received in France but has never before been previously translated into Engllsh or published in the U.K. Pailleron, known for her sharp historical research, was captivated by the sheer psychological horror and societal implications of this Scottish scandal. Her book meticulously reconstructs the atmosphere of 19th-century Edinburgh, detailing how a prestigious medical community blindly engendered a deadly black market in cadavers. The book gives, from a French perspective, a detailed portrayal of the Burke and Hare murders and their ramifications.
