The Star-Chamber: An Historical Romance

By William Harrison Ainsworth

Book Overview

The Star Chamber Vol-II is the second book of the romantic series with the renowned Star Chamber of the English justice system as its backdrop. As time went on, the Chamber's role shifted from one purely administrative to one that was progressively more judicial, enforcing the monarch's will when the courts were unable to. The Star Chamber, a notorious English courtroom, acts as the backdrop for the second book in a romance. As this narrative of fact and fiction develops, the court is starting to fall out of favor under James I as the church once more gains authority and Parliament's influence declines as the monarch tries to rule without them. The story takes the readers through lots of ups and downs which engages the readers.
