4.9/5 (31181 ratings)

Description:This study of the life and works of David Mallet (?1705-65) is the first for one hundred and fifty years. It assesses the poet's significance within his own period, arguing that modern scholarship has unduly neglected this complex personality, who engaged with changing notions in taste and aesthetics and the intersection between literature and politics. He fashioned a professional personae as a controversial patriot-poet, party writer, historian, editor, dramatist, and spy. An Anglo-Scot, he negotiated national prejudices, Jacobite leanings and - when he moved to London in the 1750s - adopted the cultural patriotism of the Hanoverians. The post-Union climate enabled him to make influential friends such as Pope, Lyttleton, Bolingbroke, and Chesterfield, who promoted his works and on whose behalf he wrote until his death.The book offers a comprehensive reconsideration of hitherto unknown manuscript material and contributes to dismantling Johnson's prejudiced view of Mallet, which to this day has taunted Mallet's critical reputation.
