The Independent Man


Book Description

In Georgian England, independence was associated with manly virtue and physical vigour. Fundamentally, the political world was thought to consist of "independent men" exercising their consciences and standing up for the general good. As such, Georgians thought about political action and masculine virtue very differently to the ways in which we do today.

Excerpt from Lyrics: Love, Freedom, and Manly Independence Let not men think that there is no truth, but in the sciences that they study or the books that they rea - locke. IN giving to the public this small volume of my metrical compositions, let me first of all tender to my numerous sub scribers my best thanks for their kind patronage. Let them not receive this acknowledgment as the verbiage of cold lipped formality but the genuine expression of my inmost heart.
