""John Standish: Or The Harrowing Of London"" is a historical fiction novel written by Edward Gilliat and first published in 1889. The story is set in London during the reign of King Henry VIII and follows the titular character, John Standish, a young man who becomes embroiled in a plot to overthrow the king. The novel begins with Standish working as a clerk for a wealthy merchant, but his life takes a dramatic turn when he is recruited by a group of rebels who seek to dethrone Henry VIII and restore Catholicism to England. Standish becomes a key player in the plot, but as the plan unfolds, he begins to question his loyalties and the true motives of his fellow conspirators. As the tension builds, Standish finds himself caught between his loyalty to the Catholic cause and his growing love for a Protestant woman. The novel culminates in a dramatic showdown between the rebels and the king's forces, leading to a shocking revelation about Standish's true identity. Gilliat's novel is a thrilling tale of political intrigue, religious conflict, and personal struggle, set against the backdrop of one of England's most tumultuous periods. It offers a vivid portrayal of life in Tudor London and explores themes of loyalty, faith, and the consequences of one's actions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
