Descrição do livro
Criminal Conversation by Sir John Milley Doyle. This is a courtroom transcript of the May 1820 trial in Dublin in which Sir John Milley Doyle sues George Peter Brown for Criminal Conversation with his wife, Lady Doyle. The record includes the plaintiff's allegations, the defendant's defenses, and lengthy speeches by leading counsel, followed by the verdict. The jury awarded 5,000 pounds in damages (with costs) despite the plaintiff's original demand of 30,000 pounds. The text is accompanied by an Appendix containing correspondence and documents, notably the letters of Mary Napoli—Bryan (Lady Doyle) to Doyle, recounting marriage, coercion, forgiveness, and separation amid social and financial pressures. The case surveys issues of conjugal fidelity, social reputation, and patriarchy in early 19th-century Ireland, and dramatizes the intersection of military honor and domestic virtue through dramatic rhetoric and public testimony.
