The Gunpowder Plot: Terror and Faith in 1605 (1996)  -  UNABRIDGED



A non fiction book by Antonia Fraser.









With a narrative that grips the reader like a detective story, Antonia Fraser brings the characters and events of the
Gunpowder Plot to life. Dramatically recreating the conditions and motives that surrounded the fateful night of November
5 1605, she unravels the tangled web of religion and politics that spawned the plot. 







'Told with impressive scholarship and panache...The result is a narrative that is clear, balanced, and builds to its
denouement with a sense of pace and tension worthy of a John le Carre novel' John Adamson, Sunday Telegraph.







For those among you who have read other historical narratives by Antonia Fraser you will know that her depth of research
and story telling skills are beyond reproach. And so it is with this book.



The book outlines not only the details of the conspiracy itself but also sets the scene by explaining the very real
persecution that catholics were exposed to in the last years of Elizabeth's reign and how they hoped, and indeed
believed, that they would achieve toleration once James was securely on the English throne.



One aspect of the book which I found particulary fascinating was in respect of how little things have changed over the
last four hundred years. We still have politicians who are prepared to make all kinds of promises before they gain power
which they have no intention of actually keeping. We also have politicians who have no qualms about lying to us about
the real dangers posed by our so called enemies in order that they can implement policies which are beneficial to
themselves. And, of course, even in the twenty first century we still have religious extremists who are prepared to bomb
London in order to further their cause, though not thankfully those with catholic sympathies anymore.



As we would expect from a historical writer who has written so extensively about female historical characters she places
much emphasis on the women who are connected to the powder treason, most notably Anne and Eliza Vaux. She also betrays
her catholic sympathies, not so much by supporting the conspirators which she doesn't, but by her very sympathetic
portrayal of the Jesuits and lay men who were part of the story, though not of the conspiracy.



In summary, I would highly recommend this book not only because it is a very good read but also because in many
important respects many aspects of the narrative are still highly relevant today. 









Enjoy and Seed!!
