Item Description

A gripping account of the infamous 1605 conspiracy, The Gunpowder Plot traces the desperate scheme by Guy Fawkes and his fellow recusants to blow up King James I and the Houses of Parliament. Through vivid historical detail, it explores the religious tensions, political paranoia, and clandestine networks that pushed a small group of men toward violent rebellion. The narrative follows the plot’s careful planning, dramatic discovery, and brutal aftermath, revealing how close England came to catastrophe. This Folio Society edition presents the story with scholarly insight and elegant production, housed in a refined slipcase that underscores its historical weight.
