The Century of Deception. The Birth of the Hoax in Eighteenth Century England, Hardback/Ian Keable

Embracing history and society, literature and theatre, medicine and religion, author and magician Ian Keable reveals our susceptibility to being duped. 'Fake news', 'going viral' and 'social media' may be modern terms, but as this amusing and eye-opening book shows, these concepts have been with us for centuries.
