Book Review - Broadmoor Revealed Victorian Crime and the Lunatic Asylum by Mark Stevens
This was a fun book to read, it's not comprehensive and I would have liked to see more in the way of case notes or journal entries of the patients themselves. It's a good overview of the history and the life inside Broadmoor. Chapters look at 4 individual patients, escapees and babies born inside the asylum.
Rating 3/5
