Re: Rumps

Great, thanks for digging into it more! And I haven't read that book at all, it just turned up when I searched for rumps... : )

Modern literary historians, however, increasingly embrace the opinion that The Golden Rump may have been secretly commissioned by Walpole himself in a successful bid to get his Bill for theatrical licensing passed before the legislature.

Ha ha, wow, talk about manipulation.

And interesting about Fielding. I knew he was an anti-Jacobite, nice to see he turned his satire on both sides...

Disclaimer: same! I've only read the page or two dealing with rumps. (Truly, salon research leads to unexpected places.)
