The concept of friendship has long been central to the field of
eighteenth-century literary studies, not least because it was
presented by the era's own authors as an essential aspect of their
literary identities. For writers like Alexander Pope and Jonathan
Swift, being known as a good friend was just as important as
gaining literary reputation.Friendship and Allegiance builds on
recent scholarly interest both in friendship itself and more
broadly in the relationship between privacy and publicity in the
eighteenth century. It investigates how the idea of personal
friendship could be distorted by its role in public discourse and
whether friendship's value or meaning can ever be securely
established in the midst of wider political, social and cultural
debates. The book offers new ways of thinking about
eighteenth-century friendship and about the prominent authors of
the time who attempted to make sense of it.
