Mary Morgan of Presteigne. Victim Or Villain of Infanticide
The story of poor Mary Morgan, the servant girl in 'the big house' who becomes pregnant, conceals her pregnancy, and then kills her baby at birth is not uncommon. Neither is the rapid discovery of the body, the trial and the verdict - guilty of murder.What is so poignant is that just a few miles away another young servant girl called Mary becomes pregnant, kills her new-born child, and is sentenced by the same judge to a lesser penalty for 'concealment of birth'.Was Mary Morgan a hapless victim of a harsh social structure where the 'have nots' had few rights? Were their different sentences an indictment of the legal system at the time? What did it say about society?Who was the father? Was there a conspiracy against one Mary and not the other? Did the judge have an ulterior motive?Time has not mellowed the horrific details. One Mary was sentenced to two years in goal, the other Mary was hanged. A judicial killing? Which Mary received appropriate justice?Judge for yourself the case of Mary Morgan, victim or villain.
The Ghost of Mary Morgan
This is a true story with a new take on the tragic tale of Mary Morgan, who was hung for Infanticide in 1805. At just seventeen years of age, she was executed after a guilty verdict at Presteigne Great Assizes. Convicted on the word of three women, there would be no mercy for this former servant as their testimonies sealed her fate. I knew nothing about this girl until a family secret and a chance encounter set me off in search of the truth. What I uncovered would seriously throw into doubt the heinous charge that had been laid against her. Indeed, are we looking at a gross miscarriage of justice here? I bid you be the Judge and Jury and come to your own conclusions of this horrific case.
Mary Morgan
This lively and topical collection illustrates Cullen's trademark ability to re-fashion theatrical conventions for contemporary, and seemingly bizarre, use. Conflict between generations, classes, anti sexes marks Mary Morgan, the story of a young maidservant seduced anti made pregnant by the son of her master. Based on a true and well-documented incident in nineteenth-century Wales, this domestic drama is played out against a wide background of harsh poverty and civil unrest.Tarzanne imaginatively reworks the famous Greystoke story by making the central character a girl raised by chimpanzees, but rescued and brought home to the family's mansion in Wales. The struggle to humanize Tarzanne and...
The World in the Model
During the last two centuries, the way economic science is done has changed radically: it has become a social science based on mathematical models in place of words. This book describes and analyses that change - both historically and philosophically - using a series of case studies to illuminate the nature and the implications of these changes. It is not a technical book; it is written for the intelligent person who wants to understand how economics works from the inside out. This book will be of interest to economists and science studies scholars (historians, sociologists and philosophers of science). But it also aims at a wider readership in the public intellectual sphere, building on the current interest in all things economic and on the recent failure of the so-called economic model, which has shaped our beliefs and the world we live in.
