In this new study the authors examine a range of theories about the
state of nature in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England,
considering the contribution they made to the period's discourse on
sovereignty and their impact on literary activity. Texts examined
include Leviathan, Oceana, Paradise Lost, Discourses Concerning
Government, Two Treatises on Government, Don Sebastian, Oronooko,
The New Atalantis, Robinson Crusoe, Dissertation upon Parties,
David Simple, and Tom Jones. The state of nature is identified as
an important organizing principle for narratives in the century
running from the Civil War through to the second Jacobite
Rebellion, and as a way of situating the author within either a
reactionary or a radical political tradition. The Discourse of
Sovereignty provides an exciting new perspective on the
intellectual history of this fascinating period.
