About this book

In the late 17th century, England grappled with profound social and political upheaval, setting the stage for Sir Roger L'Estrange's incisive political satire, "Citt and Bumpkin." Through the engaging dialogue between the astute Citt and the unsuspecting Bumpkin, L'Estrange critiques the complexities of class and governance, illuminating the stark contrasts between urban sophistication and rural simplicity. This work uniquely captures the essence of political discourse of the time, addressing themes of authority and common sense. Ideal for students and civic activists, "Citt and Bumpkin" serves as both a historical document and a timeless exploration of human nature, encouraging readers to reflect on the dynamics of power and perception in society.
