marc520: "Atalantis Major" by Daniel Defoe is a political allegory written in the early 18th century, particularly around the time of the Tory victory in the 1710 election in Great Britain. The book serves as a satirical commentary on the political turmoil of Defoe's time, focusing on issues related to the election of Scottish peers and the delicate landscape of party allegiance during Queen Anne's reign. Through its intricate narrative, it addresses themes of governance, loyalty, and the interplay of politics and power. In "Atalantis Major," the narrative unfolds in the fictional island of Atalantis, representing Britain, and is centered on the dramatic election of sixteen Scottish peers to the House of Lords. Defoe illustrates the intense factionalism among the nobility, particularly between the Tories and Whigs, as they maneuver for power and influence. Key characters such as the Duke de Sanquarius and the Earl of Stairdale exemplify principles of loyalty and merit against a backdrop of manipulation and ambition by figures like the ambitious Prince of Greeniccio. The work captures the anxious atmosphere of political jockeying and the impact of these power plays on the nation’s future, ultimately revealing the moral dilemmas faced by those in power and the consequences of their decisions.
