Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the tale of Lord Ferrers, a notorious 18th-century nobleman whose story of crime and punishment captivated the public. The author delves into the events leading up to Ferrers' brutal murder of his former mistress, an act that would ultimately lead to his execution at Tyburn. Alongside Ferrers' tale, the book explores the true story of an itinerant preacher who believed he was sent to foretell London's impending doom through a series of earthquakes. Through the intertwining narratives of Ferrers and the preacher, the author paints a vivid picture of life in 18th-century London, a time of great social and economic change, and of the ways in which people grappled with their own mortality in the face of a rapidly changing world. This book offers a unique and insightful perspective on a fascinating period of English history, shedding light on the dark underbelly of crime and punishment in Georgian England and the public preoccupation with death and the afterlife.
