Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""A Full Exposure of Ann Moore, The Pretended Fasting Woman of Tutbury"" is a book written by Ann Moore herself, published in 1813. The book is a detailed account of Moore's life and the events that led to her being known as the ""Fasting Woman of Tutbury"". Moore claimed to have been fasting for over three years, surviving only on water and a small amount of bread. Her story gained widespread attention and she became somewhat of a celebrity, with people coming from all over to see her and witness her supposed miracle. However, as time went on, doubts began to arise about Moore's claims. Some suspected that she was secretly eating and drinking, while others believed that she was simply lying altogether. Ultimately, it was discovered that Moore had indeed been secretly consuming food and drink, and her reputation was destroyed. In ""A Full Exposure of Ann Moore"", Moore herself provides a detailed account of her life and her experience as the Fasting Woman of Tutbury. She defends herself against accusations of fraud and provides her own explanation for why she began fasting in the first place. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into a strange and controversial moment in history, and sheds light on the power of belief and the lengths people will go to in order to prove their faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
