The disappearance and subsequent trial of Elizabeth Canning in 1753 set off a train of events that led to a public obsession with her case. Most writers (from Tobias Smollett to the mystery novelist Josephine Tey) have taken her guilt for granted, but this work brings that judgment into question by examining the case and its documentary history. Illustrated.
