- This c.80,000-word monograph is the first book-length study of Stephen Duck for almost a century. It provides a significant re-evaluation of Duck's life, work, and cultural significance, and is a major intervention in the way that he is viewed by modern scholarship. Over nine chapters, it traces Duck’s journey from agricultural labourer to court poet and considers the full range of his writing, drawing on manuscripts; contemporary reviews and responses; and new biographical information. While focusing on one writer, it has a wide scope, shedding new light upon ideas of class and social mobility in the eighteenth century.
