With the assistance of the New Hampshire Humanities Council, the Library presents Dr. Annette Holba of Plymouth State University who will discuss the infamous Lizzie Borden.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In 1892 Lizzie Borden, a 32-year-old single woman, was officially charged with the murder of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts. The events that followed the murder would stir the curiosity of people across the nation. After four official criminal proceedings, Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the murder but the case was not officially reinvestigated by the authorities. To this day the case of Lizzie Borden is a mystery that has inspired television movies, documentaries, cinematic offerings, plays, musicals, poems, websites, blogs, a scholarly journal, college courses, and law school case studies.\u00a0 Annette Holba reviews the facts of the case and explores the evidence that some experts suggest points to Lizzie\u2019s guilt and others believe points to Lizzie\u2019s innocence. Lizzie\u2019s connections to New Hampshire are also discussed.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6723\" src=\"https:\/\/lizzieandrewborden.com\/mondolizzie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/sites\/4\/2015\/07\/AR-130529620.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"446\" \/>&#8220;Dr. Annette M. Holba studies rhetoric, communication ethics, and philosophy of communication in relation to the human condition and in the context of mediated environments. Her research and teaching interests are many. Additionally, Professor Holba has a unique interest in the case of Lizzie Borden; she continues to offer rhetorical and philosophical perspectives about the case which provides new insights and opens interpretive possibilities. She wrote a book entitled,<em>\u00a0Lizzie Borden took an Axe, or Did She<\/em>, which explores historical artifacts and communicative practices involved with the case. Her interest in the story of the Borden murders began during her homicide training when she was a county detective in New Jersey for 11 years. It was the first case she studied then and her interest in the story has continued. She is the current editor for Qualitative Research Reports in Communication.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don\u2019t miss this fascinating look into a historical incident we have all heard about.
