[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: "The Patriot Opposition to Walpole. Politics, Poetry and National
Myth, 1725-1742"

By Christine Gerrard.
Published by the Clarendon Press: 1994.

DISCUSSION: “This is the first full-length study of the so-called Patriot
opposition to the Walpole Administration which reached its height during
the clamour for war against Spain at the turn of the 1730s. The book
examines the interrelationship between patriotism, politics, and poetry in
the period 1725-1742... Drawing on the literature, prints, architecture
and statuary of the 1730s Christine Garrard also explores in depth two of
the decades most powerful patriotic myths- Saxon or ‘Gothic’ liberty, and
Elizabethan greatness.” A surprisingly uncommon book.

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 6.5”x9.5”, 273 pages, black & white illustrations,
dust jacket

CONDITION NOTES: In nice, clean, tight, unmarked condition.

PRICE: $50.00 net.
