To Settle the Succession of the State by J A Downie
The safety of the Protestant Succession dominated politics from the Exclusion Crisis to the Forty-Five rebellion, and for more than half a century questions of religion and ideology were inextricably linked to the choice between de facto reigning monarchs and exiled Stuart Pretenders. The writings of the period are shot through with politics, and this volume in the Context and Commentary series is designed to illustrate how literature forms, modifies and reflects political ideologies.
J. A. Downie is Professor of English at Goldsmiths' College, University of London. His books include: Robert Harley and the Press: Propaganda and Public Opinion in the Age of Swift and Defoe (1979); Jonathan Swift, Political Writer (1984); and To Settle the Succession of the State: Literature and Politics, 1678-1750 (1994).
