Karel Schoeman

Karel Schoeman se *Die dood van 'n Engelsman* ondersoek die Cox-moorde van 1856 in die vroeë Oranje-Vrystaat, met die fokus op Charles Leo Cox, 'n Engelse heer wat hom in die Kaapkolonie en later die Vrystaat vestig. Die boek beskryf sy agtergrond, sy huwelik met die sestienjarige Maria Magdalena Bouwer, en die groeiende spanning in hul verhouding te midde van die veranderende politieke landskap ná die Britse onttrekking. Deur dokumente en ooggetuieverslae, skep Schoeman 'n gedetailleerde beeld van Cox se lewe en die omstandighede wat tot die tragiese gebeure gelei het.
