Drawing extensively on ephemeral plays, sermons, pamphlets, and newspapers that in their own day were regarded as significant contributions to political discussion, Pettit analyzes the formation of and the reaction against Bolingbroke's notion of a unified opposition. He argues that much of the polemical literature of the 1730s responds anxiously to Bolingbroke's notion of a unified opposition.
