Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book reexamines a celebrated case of Britain's so-called "Killing Time" of religious civil war, a chapter of history depicted poorly by the notorious Presbyterian historian, the Reverend Robert Wodrow. The author's forensic-level analysis of surviving primary sources exposes the fictional nature of one of Wodrow's best-known tales of government persecution. The book sets this episode within the broader context of the historical fabrication and falsification of history, a phenomenon made possible by the absence of proof or witness. The author demonstrates that when the original records of government actions survive, such fabrications can be exposed, as the author does here in the case of the Wigtown Martyrs. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
