The Murderer of Warren Street

In 1855, on a dark and snowy December morning, Emmanuel Barthelemy was hanged for a double murder outside the gates of Newgate prison. What had brought him to this grisly end? His short and dramatic life is a tale of two cities. Follow Emmanuel Barthelemy – revolutionary, galley slave, barricade fighter and duellist – through the revolutionary turmoil of Paris and the backstreet plotting, in company of Marx and Engels, of Victorian London.
