About this title

Synopsis

This book is a consolidated account of the trial of Henry Sacheverell, a clergyman who was impeached before the House of Lords for his incendiary sermons. Sacheverell's trial was a watershed moment in British history, as it exposed deep divisions within society and the political establishment over the nature of the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The author provides a detailed account of the charges against Sacheverell, the evidence presented against him, and the arguments of his defense. The book also examines the broader historical and political context of the trial, including the rise of Jacobitism and the growing tensions between Whigs and Tories. The author argues that the trial was a complex and multifaceted event that cannot be reduced to a simple clash between good and evil. Rather, it was a reflection of the deep-seated divisions and anxieties that had plagued England in the aftermath of the Revolution. The book offers a valuable insight into a pivotal moment in British history and provides a thoughtful analysis of the political and religious issues that were at stake.
