'If I had to recommend a single book about the history of imprisonment ... this would be it'-- Theodore Dalrymple. 'You won't put it down.'-- Henry Kelly. 'Contains fascinating details about Wilde's isolation in prison'-- Studies in English Literature. 'Packed with little gems of fact.'--Inside Time. 'Pit of Shame contains a wealth of interesting detail about everyday life in Reading gaol over 400 years ... The author does not shy away from even the most disturbing aspects of his story. Pit of Shame will repay reading in many ways and its fascinating story, accessibly told, should stimulate the desire to know more about a neglected area of life.'-- SCOLAG. Ler mais...
