Book
A Corruptible Crown
First published 2011
In 1648, Lucy and Jamie Hudson are married but separated when renewed war forces Jamie back into the army. Lucy continues printing radical newsbooks in London, evading censorship while supporting Leveller arguments for representation, religious liberty and government answerable to the people.
Jamie’s disillusionment deepens as soldiers are used against both Royalists and political reformers, while Lucy must decide how much danger her press and principles can bear. Their efforts to reunite unfold through the Second Civil War, the army’s seizure of political power and the trial and execution of Charles I.
