On the night of 23 February 1820, twenty-five impoverished
craftsmen assembled in an obscure stable in Cato Street, London,
with a plan to massacre the whole British cabinet at its monthly
dinner. The Cato Street Conspiracy was the most sensational of all
plots aimed at the British state since Guy Fawkes' Gunpowder Plot
of 1605. It ended in betrayal, arrest, and trial, and with five
conspirators publicly hanged and decapitated for treason. Their
failure proved the state's physical strength, and ended hopes of
revolution for a century. Vic Gatrell explores this dramatic yet
neglected event in unprecedented detail through spy reports, trial
interrogations, letters, speeches, songs, maps, and images.
Attending to the 'real lives' and habitats of the men, women, and
children involved, he throws fresh light on the troubled and tragic
world of Regency Britain, and on one of the most compelling and
poignant episodes in British history.
