Description

The Fleming Foundation’s 2022 Summer Symposium on Augustan England was held July 11-15, 2022.

Eighteenth century England is one of our greatest periods of literature, art, and music: No one since has equalled Pope, Swift, and others of that age for the keenness of their satire or the sharpness of their political attacks, and no one has exceeded the charm and liveliness of their writing. But this was also the age when the British Constitution was uprooted and transformed into a a party state with a parliamentary despotism that both caused the American Revolution and also laid the foundations for the undoing of every good thing for which the Americans fought.
