Description
John Toland was notorious. A pamphleteer, a polemicist and a prankster of the first order, modern scholarship has struggled to position his writings within the debates of his day. This study is the first to fully recount his remarkable biography, situating his writings within the controversies that sparked and shaped them.
Reviews'Brown's book is an excellent introduction to the man, the mind and the times.' Eighteenth-Century Ireland
