Atalantis Major
1711
''Atalantis Major,'' published in 1711 by Daniel Defoe, is a political allegory that critiques the political landscape of early 18th century Britain, particularly during Queen Anne's reign. Set on the fictional island of Atalantis, the narrative centers on the election of Scottish peers to the House of Lords, reflecting the intense factionalism between the Tories and Whigs. Through characters like the Duke de Sanquarius and the Earl of Stairdale, Defoe explores themes of governance, loyalty, and the moral dilemmas faced by those in power amidst political manipulation and ambition.
