Focusing on the life and works of David Mallet, this study highlights his significance as a multifaceted figure in 18th-century literature and politics. It explores his complex identity as an Anglo-Scot navigating national prejudices and Jacobite affiliations while adopting Hanoverian cultural patriotism. The book reveals Mallet's relationships with influential contemporaries and reassesses previously overlooked manuscripts, challenging Samuel Johnson's biased perspective that has long affected Mallet's critical reputation.
