Review
Between 1760 and 1820, scandal was a serious business, for both press and politicians, so it is appropriate for a historian to take it seriously now. Anna Clark ... brings important issues of political history from the margins to the centre. The real scandal, as this book shows, lay in the much-vaunted British constitution, which concentrated power in political and social elites while leaving the mass of the people, especially women, without representation. -- Norma Clarke Times Literary Supplement Scandal is a serious and well-researched academic study... An interesting and informative book. Library Journal Clark's fascinating book explores English political scandals ... during the period 1760 to 1820... [T]his is a rich and important work, a fine example of the new political history that is certain to stimulate thinking not only about Hanoverian scandal but also about the significance--and the some times progressive consequences--of political scandal in the modern world. -- Alastair Bellany American Historical Review [H]ighly interesting and entertaining. -- John Garrard Reviews in History

Between 1760 and 1820, scandal was a serious business, for both press and politicians, so it is appropriate for a historian to take it seriously now. Anna Clark . . . brings important issues of political history from the margins to the centre. The real scandal, as this book shows, lay in the much-vaunted British constitution, which concentrated power in political and social elites while leaving the mass of the people, especially women, without representation.
