About this title

Synopsis

This book attempts to examine the ways in which the government of James I set about discovering the details and ramifications of the Gunpowder Plot. The book also has broader aims, to expand our knowledge of the way this administration adapted itself to emergencies, and to elucidate the means by which the Privy Council and its agents enforced their will within the realm.
