In June 1790 the British parliament abolished one of the most striking and horrific modes of capital punishment still practised in England, the burning at the stake of women convicted of treason. Previous accounts of this change have generally regarded it as a long overdue measure in a society that was increasingly characterized by enlightened, civilized values, to say nothing of a growing idealization of women. This paper argues that the explanation is more complicated and ambiguous. Although changing social and cultural factors were vital, a full explanation requires close attention to the particular people and the material circumstances involved.
