Description

Explore the origins of the modern dilemma regarding public office and personal probity in this scholarly work from Yale University Press. Part of The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-Century Culture and History, this book examines how changing views of political virtue shaped the Anglo-American world. Marilyn Morris analyzes eighteenth-century Britain to explain why the public became so focused on the private lives and characters of political leaders. The text traces how court intrigue and gossip moved into a wider political arena driven by the rise of political parties, partisan print culture, and extra-parliamentary activities. This sophisticated study provides essential context for understanding the relationship between private conduct and public duty in history.
