This scholarly monograph explores the infamous Tichborne Claimant trial and the populist fervor it ignited in mid-Victorian England. Michael Roe examines the role of Edward Kenealy, the eccentric barrister who championed the cause of Arthur Orton—an imposter claiming to be the missing heir, Sir Roger Tichborne. Roe situates the case within the broader context of Victorian class tensions, legal spectacle, and radical politics, offering a nuanced portrait of Kenealy’s appeal to working-class audiences and his brief but explosive political career.
