The Arms-Bearing Woman and British Theatre in the Age of Revolution, 1789–1815
Among dramas written in the period between 1795 and 1800, Sarah Burdett reminds us, “we find a whole array of dagger-wielding and murderous women” (194)—and we might add pistol-packing mamas, whose maternal status complicates all the interpretative questions that surround the phenomenon. In the opening words of her book, Burdett defines its subject matter concisely: “In the period of the French Revolution, the arms-bearing woman comes to stand in…

Defoe and the Book Trade
First, this chapter lists some external factors that affected the book trade in Daniel Defoe’s era, specifically the lapse of the Licensing Act in 1695, the Copyright Act of 1710, the Stamp Act of 1712, the threat of prosecution for seditious libel, and the extreme partiality of public discourse. It then considers Defoe’s confrontations with the law, detailing a series of works that resulted in prosecution and punishment, as well as cases where h…

The Forms of Error in Defoe's Tour: Culpable and Venial Mistakes
The article explores forms that error may take in a historical work, here Daniel Defoe's Tour thro' Britain . An introduction attempts to place the book in relation to the production of knowledge, as compared with books in allied genres. The first main section considers the nature and causes of error, divided into categories of culpable and venial mistakes. The second looks at the way in which the Tour textualizes the author's doubts concerning t…
An Examination of Certain Abuses, Corruptions, and Enormities in the City of Dublin: Swift’s Anglo-Irish Tract
Jonathan Swift’s satirical pamphlet An Examination of Certain Abuses, Corruptions, and Enormities in the City of Dublin (published by George Faulkner in 1732) has been generally neglected. This may be in part because the main ‘abuses’ that it reviews are innocent looking street cries. However, its appearance in the volume of Irish Political Writings after 1725, in the Cambridge Edition of Swift’s works (2018), offers an opportunity for a complete…

Joanidion Fielding’s Account of the Comet (1716): A Scriblerian Satire on John Flamsteed
Faithful Account of the Strange and MiraculousComet which was seen by the Mufti at Constantinople appeared in London as a folio of six pages around the end of 1716.It carries the imprint of the Catholic bookseller Edward Ber(r)ington, who published mostly Tory and High Church items. 1 Today we might suppose that this odd title would immediately alert potential readers to the fact that they were encountering a hoax rather than a serious account of…
Homer in a Nut-Shell (1715): Pope, Tickell, the Burnets, and the Politics of the Iliad Translations
A famous episode in the career of Alexander Pope is his quarrel with Joseph Addison surrounding the appearance of his translation of Homer. Central to this affair lay a rival version of the first book of the Iliad by Addison's protégé, Thomas Tickell. One counterblast to Tickell, struck on the side of Pope in 1715, has been largely ignored. This is Homer in a Nut-Shell: Or The Iliad Of Homer In Immortal Doggrel, attributed to “Nickydemus Ninnyham…
Road-testing the first turnpikes. The enduring value of Daniel Defoe’s account of English highways
A famous appendix, devoted mainly to the state of English roads, appeared in the second volume of Daniel Defoe’s Tour thro’ the Whole Island of Great Britain (1724–26). Though cited on countless occasions by historians over almost three centuries, the text has never been properly edited with detailed attention to its coverage of the newly emergent method of maintaining roads through the establishment of turnpike trusts. In default, this study see…
The York buildings dragons: Desaguliers, Arbuthnot and attitudes towards the scientific community
The growing public awareness of natural philosophy and technology in the eighteenth century brought with it unintended consequences, including an enlarged space for satiric treatments of scientific issues, which have not always been recognized for what they are. A pamphlet entitled The York Buildings Dragons appeared in December 1725, with a second, augmented, edition in January 1726. It has generally been attributed to John Theophilus Desagulier…

The Johnson Club and Late Victorian Literary Culture
In 1902 both the Order of Merit and the British Academy came into being. As David Cannadine has noted, Gladstonian liberals including Lord Rosebery, John Morley and Sir G.O. Trevelyan occupied a key segment of the newly formed elite with several others who were admitted to one or both of the new groups, belonged to the Club, the private society founded by Samuel Johnson and Joshua Reynolds in 1764. In fact several members took a leading part in t…

The Cambridge Companion to Daniel Defoe
Daniel Defoe had an eventful and adventurous life as a merchant, politician, spy and literary hack. He is one of the eighteenth century's most lively, innovative and important authors, famous not only for his novels, including Robinson Crusoe, Moll Flanders, and Roxana, but for his extensive work in journalism, political polemic and conduct guides, and for his pioneering 'Tour through the Whole Island of Great Britain'. This volume surveys the wi…
Edmund Curll, bookseller
Closing the Books (1741–1747)
This chapter discusses how Pope's death in 1744 set the stage for the last round of an encounter which had lasted more than three decades. In particular, his death would prompt the appearance a year later of the promised biography — a prospect which Curll had held over his adversary in terrorem for the length of his days. It details that Curll remained in his old habit of putting together the lives of the recently deceased, and in 1741, Curll pro…

The Waltham Blacks and the Black Act
The measure of 1723 known as the ‘Waldiam Black Act’ (9 Geo. I, c. 22) has acquired a lasting notoriety. Lecky called it ‘a special and most sanguinary law’, and even Sir Leon Radzinowicz finds it ‘remarkable’ as the most severe legislation of the eighteenth century, its comprehensive nature making it an ‘ideological index’ to the capital laws at large. The Act was extended for five years in 1725 (12 Geo. I, c. 30), amended in 1754 (27 Geo. II, c…

Literary Art in Defoe's Tour: The Rhetoric of Growth and Decay
IT IS TWENTY YEARS since Godfrey Davies opened an article with the stark judgment, None of the larger works of Defoe has received so little actual attention as the Tour.' This comment remains as accurate today. In the last two decades we have had the first collection of Defoe's letters, the standard bibliography, and one major biography-quite apart from a growing critical debate on the novels. This makes it all the harder to justify scholarly neg…

Johnson and Boswell: The transit of Caledonia
This is the first comprehensive treatment of Johnson and Boswell in relation to Scotland, as revealed in their respective accounts of their trip to the Hebrides in 1773, the Journey to the Western Islands and the Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides. Locating the Scottish Journey both within the context of travel writing in the decade of Cook's Pacific voyages, and in an intellectual, cultural, and literary context, Pat Rogers' new interpretation of…
The Noblest Saviage of them All: Johnson, Omai, and Other Primitives
This chapter describes the unlikely pairing of Johnson and Omai, the Tahitian brought to England by Cook's party. Omai set out on his long journey to Europe whilst Johnson and Boswell were actually in the midst of their journey, and he became a familiar figure to the Club and what might be termed the extended Johnsonian circle, including Hester Thrale and Fanny Burney. This chapter also discusses the debate about the nature of concepts such as th…
