Friendship and Allegiance explores the concept of friendship as it was defined, contested and distorted by writers of the early eighteenth century. Setting well-known canonical texts (The Beggar’s Opera, Gulliver’s Travels) alongside lesser-known works, it portrays a literary world renegotiating the meaning of public and private virtue.
