Excerpt from Life of John Wilkes
In the Guildhall Library there is a large dossier, bound in three volumes, including many invaluable records of the prosecution of the agitator, which, as far as I am aware, have never been examined previously.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and times of John Wilkes, a pivotal figure in 18th-century English politics. Wilkes, a wealthy landowner and socialite, rose to prominence through his outspoken criticism of the government, particularly his attacks on the policies of King George III. The author skillfully weaves together personal anecdotes, political machinations, and social commentary to paint a vivid portrait of Wilkes' rise to prominence as a controversial figure. The book explores the political landscape of the time, with its intricate system of patronage and influence, and illuminates how Wilkes' fiery personality and audacious pronouncements challenged the established order. Through extensive research and a wealth of primary sources, the author provides intimate details of Wilkes' personal life, including his relationships, his financial struggles, and his interactions with the leading figures of the day. The author meticulously investigates Wilkes' controversial career as a politician, his imprisonment for seditious libel, and his subsequent rise to become a champion of liberty and a vocal advocate for democratic reform. This book provides a compelling account of a man who defied convention, challenged authority, and left an enduring mark on the course of English history.
