A Life of John Wilkes is a biography written by O.A. Sherrard that chronicles the life of the controversial English politician, journalist, and libertine, John Wilkes. The book delves into Wilkes' early life, his education at Oxford, his political career, and his notorious personal life. Sherrard explores Wilkes' involvement in the radical politics of the 18th century, including his opposition to the government's policies in America and his support for parliamentary reform. The book also examines Wilkes' role in the founding of the radical newspaper, The North Briton, and his infamous libel case against the government. Sherrard provides a detailed account of Wilkes' personal life, including his numerous affairs and his imprisonment for obscene libel. Overall, A Life of John Wilkes offers a comprehensive look at one of the most controversial figures in English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
