Eighteenth-Century Contexts offers a lively array of essays  that consider literary, intellectual, political, theological, and  cultural aspects of the years 1650–1800, in the British Isles and  Europe. At the center of the book is Jonathan Swift; several essays  delve into his poetry, his similarities to Bernard Mandeville, his  response to Anthony Collins’s Discourse of Free-Thinking, and the relationship between his Gulliver’s Travels and Thomas More’s Utopia.  Other essays discuss Alexander Pope, eighteenth-century music and  poetry, William Congreve, James Boswell, Samuel Richardson, and women’s  novels of the eighteenth century.
