it is impossible in the space of this review to give justice to the abundance of insights emerging from the author's masterful textual analysis [...] this book should be required reading for any historian or literary scholar interested in the epistemological and cultural significance of the relationship between truth and lying in any time period. * Stefania Tutino, Review of English Studies * Andrew Hadfield is at his analytical best on treason trials. ... These grippingly expounded narratives, case studies in lying and its justifications, stand at either end of a period in which, the book proposes, conceptions of lying were culturally transformed by a variety of means. ... profoundly sympathetic, enjoyable and extremely wide-ranging. * Lorna Hutson, Times Literary Supplement *
