Thanks Leon, for approving this.
I've been asked to deliver a live talk on Zoom and as it's open to the public I wondered if it would be of any interest to some of the forum members.
Arsenic – The Victorian Housewife's Friend:
Arsenic pervaded almost every aspect of life in C19th Britain, leaving a toll of illness, death and murder. We explore everyday uses of arsenic in the home, in manufacturing, and in the realm of medicine; the tragedy of accidental poisonings and the sinister application by those with malice aforethought. A sometimes humourous look at a serious subject.
