维多利亚时代的丑闻：从宫廷到舞台的不光彩故事

English | 2024 | ISBN: 1399091603 | 214 pages | True PDF EPUB | 28.28 MB

Several sensational stories from 19th Century Britain from royal scandals to controversial court cases.

Great Scandals of the Victorians features a collection of true stories that shocked, outraged, angered or simply amused the Victorians in nineteenth-century Britain. Drawing on a wide variety of original material, seven disreputable stories that dominated the national newspapers for many weeks are explored, including the Great Warwickshire Scandal, a highly publicized divorce case where for the first time in history a Prince of Wales was called to give evidence in court; a ‘baby’ scandal that disrupted Queen Victoria’s court and threatened the monarchy; the sex scandals of the Abode of Love, a mysterious religious cult founded by a defrocked clergyman, Henry James Prince and the sensational trial of Fanny and Stella, two outrageous cross-dressers accused of sodomy.

Some scandals, though traumatic for the people involved, produced a positive outcome, such as the scandalous custody battle between Caroline Norton and her husband, which led to the passing of the Custody of Infants Act, granting mothers custody of their children following a divorce, and the case of 13-year-old Eliza Armstrong, sold to a brothel keeper for £5, which caused a major scandal and public outrage, but also led to a change in the law, raising the age of consent from 13 to 16 years.

十九世纪英国的几起轰动故事，从皇室丑闻到有争议的法庭案件。 《维多利亚时代的巨 scandal》收录了九个真实的故事，它们曾在19世纪的英国全国报纸上引起了震动、愤怒或只是令人发笑。通过使用多种原创材料，七起恶劣事件的研究被探索，包括“温莎郡丑闻”，这是历史上首次王储在法庭上作证的离婚案件；对维多利亚女王宫廷造成混乱和威胁皇室统治的婴儿丑闻；“爱之屋”神秘宗教教派中的性丑闻，由一名解职神父创立；以及两名跨性别者指控通奸而引发轰动的弗内斯与斯蒂拉案件。 有些丑闻虽然对当事人造成了极大的创伤，但最终产生了积极的效果。例如卡洛琳·诺顿与其丈夫之间的荒诞争斗导致《子女监护法》的通过，规定离婚后的母亲可以抚养孩子；以及13岁艾丽莎·阿姆斯特朗被贩卖到一家妓院老板手中以5英镑一事引发的重大丑闻和公众愤怒，但这也推动了法律的变化，将法定同意年龄从13岁提高至16岁。
