Abstract
Review article by Joad Raymond on Alastair Bellany, The Politics of Court Scandal in Early Modern England; Peter Lake, Thomas Cogswell, and Richard Cust, eds., Politics, Religion, and Popularity; Joseph Loewenstein, The Author’s Due; Lois Schwoerer, The Ingenious Mr. Henry Care, Restoration Publicist; and Robert Wilcher, The Writing of Royalism.
