In "Who Wrote Eikon Basilike?" Considered and Answered, Christopher Wordsworth delves into the historical controversy surrounding the authorship of the influential book, "Eikon Basilike". This work, purportedly written by King Charles I during his imprisonment, was published shortly after his execution and played a significant role in shaping public opinion of the executed monarch.
Wordsworth addresses his investigation in the form of two letters to the Archbishop of Canterbury, meticulously examining the evidence and arguments for and against Charles I's authorship. This detailed analysis provides valuable insight into the political and literary climate of the 17th century, as well as the enduring power of propaganda and the manipulation of historical narratives.
This volume offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in British history and the ongoing debate surrounding a text that continues to captivate historians and literary scholars alike. It remains a vital resource for anyone interested in the complexities of historical truth and the legacy of Charles I.
