Chapter 1. Introduction: Reading the Trial of Dr Sacheverell.
- Abstract
The article discusses the 1710 impeachment trial of Dr. Henry Sacheverell, an English High Church clergyman and politician, who was convicted by the British House of Lords of impugning the Glorious Revolution of 1688 because he denied that it entailed resistance to British King James II. It comments on several accounts of the trial, including the 1710 work "The Tryal of Dr Henry Sacheverell," by Jacob Tonson. Other topics include historical scholarship and visual representations of the trial.
