The Big Book of Pain offers a history of the punishments and tortures administered to offenders in all periods for which records exist. Included are the ducking stool, the Scottish maiden, the pillory, the drunkard’s cloak and the scold’s bridle, and unsavoury punishments such as death by pressing, being hanged, drawn and quartered, and death by boiling.
