Susan Howe continues to explore the historiocity of text, this time motivated by Edward Almack's bibliography of a book purportedly written by King Charles I just prior to his execution. A text at the vortex of a country's violent experiment with regicide serves Howe's imagination & her exquisite examination of language.

Type used for the cover and title page was handset by Rosmarie Waldrop.
