It must have seemed to be a new world in the heady days after the Act of Union. It certainly was exciting for ambitious and talented Scots who finally had the means to go to London and make a living by the pen. Mallet was amongst them, and although he made many friends along the way to fame he also remained true to his nature and his variable politics. Jung (English, U. of Salford) provides a strong context for Mallet's seeming conflicts, and considers manuscript materials from a range of sources to counter misconceptions about Mallet. He also places Mallet within the long eighteenth century, explaining why the author was frequently mired in controversy abut his politics, but takes pains to place Mallet at the center of equally contentious writers and influential people in a contentious time.
