The Politics of Disclosure, 1674-1725 cover

This is a study of the 'secret history', a polemical form of historiography which flourished in England during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.

'well written and consistently thoughtful' Review of English Studies 'Bullard effectively embeds the secret histories in the broader political anxieties and ambitions of groups of influential men, and her attention to rhetoric is unusual and a considerable strength.' Journal of British Studies 'Bullard is right to bring such intelligent and detailed attention to a genre that was a prominent feature of a complex and dramatic political world.' English Historical Review
