| Summary | "What Gunpowder Plot Was" by Samuel Rawson Gardiner is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines the infamous Gunpowder Plot of 1605, challenging traditional narratives and exploring the motivations behind the conspiracy to blow up the British Parliament. Gardiner engages with various historical evidences and interpretations, particularly focusing on the claims made by Father Gerard regarding the conspirators' supposed manipulation by government officials. The opening of the text sets the stage for an in-depth analysis of the historical controversy surrounding the Gunpowder Plot. Gardiner begins by referencing Father Gerard’s examination of evidence asserting the plot was fabricated by the Earl of Salisbury for political gain. He discusses Gerard's conclusions, noting their implications on Catholic perceptions and the subsequent penalties they suffered following the event. Gardiner moves to critique Gerard's approach and the reliability of various sources, hinting at a meticulous inquiry into the established narrative while arguing for a thorough exploration of historical documents to discover the truth behind this pivotal moment in British history.
