Description
Synopsis - In ruined abbeys and bizarre caves the club held meetings that shocked and terrified the countryside. London ‘madams’ scoured the city for young girls to supply the club’s mass orgies. Rakes and perverts flocked to its meetings. Yet it was typical of the eighteenth century that the club’s members included famous men of the arts, many politicians even the Prime Minister of the time; that the list of members reads like an ‘honours list’ of eminent men of the day, and that when news of the club’s activities leaked out it caused the biggest political riot of all time. Brilliant, perverse, equally capable of elaborately obscene jests and the intricacies of parliamentary politics, the members of the Hell Fire Club were the most astonishing men of their time, and the record of their revels has fascinated and repelled the world for two centuries.
