Today is November 5th, and many of us know what that means. Guy Fawkes Day. Gunpowder Plot. 1605 and all that.But were the plotters (right, in a contemporary engraving) terrorists -- especially in the sense that we know that term?
The Folger Institute held a terrific seminar on that topic four years ago -- one that I was lucky enough to attend as a reporter.
I wrote this article about it for The Chronicle of Higher Education. It used to be free -- and live on my links column to the right of this post. But CHE changed up its website and put everything that once was free back behind the paywall.
No worries, however. At least for a few days. That temporary link lets you read it. Happy bonfires and fireworks, everyone.
