Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the diary of George Bubb Dodington, an 18th century aristocrat and politician. It offers a unique firsthand account of political intrigue and corruption in pre-industrial England. Dodington's self-serving, detailed observations reveal the extent to which his personal ambitions and greed shaped his political conduct. His ambition undermined his ability to act in the best interests of the country he sought to serve, causing him to sell his influence and support to the highest bidder, effectively placing his financial self-interest above all else. The diary's cynical and self-aware tone provides an insightful perspective on the workings of aristocratic power in Georgian Britain.
