Friendship and Allegiance in Eighteenth-Century Literature: The Politics of Private Virtue in the Age of Walpole (Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Cultures of Print) (Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and the C) (Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and the Cultures of Print)

by Emrys Jones

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.
