• Introduction: Backlash then and now -- 1. A "very murdering" battle and a salacious court memoir -- 2. Secret history and seditious libel -- 3. A provocative Tory sermon -- 4. The general who would be king -- 5. A female satirist in court -- 6. Impeachment and public opinion -- 7. Impeached but triumphant -- 8. A Tory victory lap and parliamentary elections -- Epilogue: Why the backlash of 1710 matters today.

• "Rachel Carnell tells the story of a backlash against decades of increasingly progressive government in Britain after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The book relates the arrest of a Tory political satirist and Whigs' impeachment of a High Church clergyman and the resulting backlash, with mobs surging the streets. Queen Anne dissolved Parliament, and the new elections brought in a Tory majority who swiftly passed reactionary legislation"--.
