Longlisted for the HWA Non-Fiction Crown 'A remarkable achievement'
Spectator In the summer of 1705, a masked woman knocked on the door
of a London printer's workshop. She did not leave her name, only a
package and the promise of protection. Soon after, an anonymous
pamphlet was quietly distributed in the backstreets of the city.
Entitled The Memorial of the Church of England, the argument it
proposed threatened to topple the government. Fearing insurrection,
parliament was in turmoil and government minister Robert Harley
launched a hunt for all of those involved. The printer was
eventually named, but could not be found... In this breakneck
political adventure, Joseph Hone shows us a nation in crisis
through the story of a single incendiary document. 'An elegant
blend of scholarship and detection' Peter Moore, author of
Endeavour 'Enthralling' London Review of Books 'An exciting story
told with vigour' Adrian Tinniswood, Literary Review
