Rachel Weil examines the volatile political landscape of post-Revolutionary England, focusing on the prevalence of conspiracy theories and the rise of the professional informer. Through a meticulous analysis of state trials and public discourse, the work explores how the fear of Jacobite plots fundamentally reshaped the relationship between the citizenry and the state during the reign of William III.
