The
Politics of Court Scandal in Early Modern England:
News Culture and the Overbury Affair, 1603-1660
(Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History)
by Alastair Bellany
Cambridge University Press; (March 2002)
"This is the first detailed study of the
political
significance
of the seventeenth-century's most notorious and sensational
court scandal—the
murder of Sir Thomas Overbury. Insisting
that images of the scandalous
court had serious political
importance, the book retells the tale of
Overbury's rise to power,
his fall and murder in 1613, and the public
revelation of the murder
two years later. The book examines the
production and circulation
of news about the scandal and assesses the
political significance
of contemporary depictions of the affair. " - Amazon.com
