Description

Arrested after the plot fails, Guy Fawkes faces torture and trial while dying Viviana urges repentance in the Tower before the last executions fall. Spoken as when the last volume asks what courage remains once the powder is found.

Author

William Harrison Ainsworth (1805–1882) was the great Victorian showman of historical romance — a novelist who filled magazines and bookstalls with highwaymen, witches, Tudor courts, and London underworlds. Rookwood made Dick Turpin a legend; Jack Sheppard turned a thief into a popular hero; The Lancashire Witches brought the Pendle trials back to feverish life.
