Kenyon, John. THE POPISH PLOT.
Heinemann, London, 1972, first edition.
300 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w illustrations. "In the autumn of 1678 it proved ridiculously easy for a group of unscrupulous perjurers to convince Parliament and the general public that the Jesuits, with the assistance of t he Catholic nobility and gentry, were actively plotting the assassination of King Charles II and the overthrow of th Protestant Establishment in church and state. In the nationwide panic that followed, hundreds of Catholics were thrown in pris o n , a nd twenty-four of them were tried, condemned and executed....it was a brutal tragedy, involving the judicial murder of men whose total innocence was assumed and in some cases proven within a few years of the events....Professor Kenyon explo re s th e c ontrary stresses to which the King and his ministers were subject; he discusses the nature and and the extent of the English Catholic community at the time, and he tries to explain the violent resentment and prejudice against its member s. H e a ls o a nalyses the fabulous stories put forward by a veritable rogues' gallery of informers....Another feature of the book is a careful examination of all the important Plot trials, culminating in Oates's trial for perjury in 1685, when he wa s f inal ly brou ght to book....As a case study of the mechanics of mass prejudice and popular hysteria, this book is relevant to the politics of any age, including our own." Previous owners bookplate on front pastedown, small bump at bottom of fro nt b oard, ve ry li ght edge wear, light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine, tiny dint on bottom edge of front board.
