John Gay was a dramatist and poet, best-known for writing The Beggar's Opera. Through his membership of the Scriblerus Club, Gay developed lasting friendships with Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift and John Arbuthnot, all of whom influenced his writing. The study will be invaluable to scholars of eighteenth-century literature and political history.

Sandro Jung is BOF Research Professor of Early Modern British Literature and Culture and the Founding Director of the Centre for the Study of Text and Print Culture at Ghent University. From late 2013 to mid-2015, he will also be a professorial fellow of the University of Strasbourg Institute of Advanced Studies (USIAS). His most recent book, "James Thomson's 'The Seasons', Print Culture, and Visual Interpretation, 1730-1842," will be published in 2015.
