    About this ebook

    "Atalantis Major" is a thinly disguised allegory about the November 1710 election of the representative Scottish peers. "Atalantis" represents Great Britain, and Defoe has created an imaginary country to tell some truths about his own. He concisely explained all the circumstances surrounding this election within the context of the political events of 1710.

Defoe’s contemporaries included Isaac Newton and Samuel Pepys.
