Description: Although scholars agree that Henry Fielding subscribed to Revolution Principles, existing accounts of his political ideas are insufficiently aware of the ways in which the various strands of Whig political ideology developed during the 60 years following the Revolution of 1688. This biography explains what 'being a Whig' meant to Fielding.
