The Cato Street Conspiracy was the most sensational of all plots aimed at the British state since the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. This book tells this dramatic but neglected story with cinematic vividness, episodic range, and a tragic denouement that undermines our romantic fantasies about Regency England.
Between 1770 and 1830, London was the world's largest and richest city, the centre of hectic social ferment and of sexual liberation. Combining words and images to offer an original panorama of that time, this book is a reappraisal of a period of seismic change and an account of the origins of our attitudes to sex, celebrity and satire.
