This completely new edition of the works of George Savile
(1633-1695) allows a major reassessment of the notorious "trimmer"
whose opposition to the Exclusion Bill probably saved the English
throne. Of particular interest is Savile's literary output, which
is broader and more reflective than the political propaganda for
which he is better known. The editor has brought together all of
the available texts by this prominent politician and writer,
providing detailed introductions to each work and to Halifax's
career in general, as well as a commentary that identifies and
explains the numerous allusions. This is the first edition to make
use of all sixty-one available manuscripts. Seventeen of the thirty
works in this volume are being published for the first time.
