Insanity or Evil? The Dark Tale of a Victorian Mother’s Despair / Accrington 1894

Loading

In the early autumn of 1894, the smoke-stained mill town of Accrington, Lancashire, bore witness to a tragedy so profound it would haunt the parish for years to come. On a grey September day, Alice Ann Farrer – a 32-year-old mother of three – succumbed not to vice or violence, but to a deep and abiding sorrow that had quietly been unraveling her mind.

Alice Ann Farrer’s tragedy is not just a story of death, but of a society’s failure to see the suffering in front of it. In that quiet Accrington home, it was not madness that arrived suddenly, but sadness long ignored.

** Melancholy and depression are not exactly the same. Melancholy, or melancholic depression, is a specific type of depression with particular characteristics, including a loss of interest in pleasurable activities and a more severe and debilitating experience of sadness. While melancholy is a subtype of major depressive disorder, the term “melancholy” is often used more broadly to describe a state of sadness or gloominess.
