Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed examination of the life and career of Sir Roger L'Estrange, a prominent figure in 17th-century English politics and journalism. The author delves into L'Estrange's early years as a Cavalier during the English Civil War, exploring his involvement in the tumultuous events of that era, including his daring (and ultimately unsuccessful) attempt to recapture the key town of King's Lynn for the Royalists. The narrative then traces L'Estrange's journey through the Protectorate and Interregnum, his exile, and eventual return to England following the Restoration. The book examines his prolific pamphleteering activities, his controversial role as a government censor and his tireless pursuit of those deemed enemies of the Crown, particularly during the Popish Plot and Rye House Plot. The author thoughtfully explores L'Estrange's motivations and personality, revealing a complex individual driven by ambition, loyalty, and a seemingly insatiable desire for revenge. This book offers a unique lens into the turbulent political and social landscape of 17th-century England, providing a nuanced perspective on the rise and development of the English press. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
