Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Cultures of Print: The Politics of Private Virtue in the Age of Walpole

Jones, Emrys

Friendship and Allegiance explores the concept of friendship as it was defined, contested and distorted by writers of the early eighteenth century. Setting well-known canonical texts (The Beggar's Opera, Gulliver's Travels) alongside lesser-known works, it portrays a literary world renegotiating the meaning of public and private virtue.
