The protagonist, a European raised among Native Americans, visits Europe and is dismayed by what he encounters. While such satire might seem conventional enough, \u003cem\u003eHermsprong\u003c\/em\u003e is distinguished from other political novels of the period by its comedy, and it is a measure of Bage’s success that he won the admiration of writers as different in political outlook as Mary Wollstonecraft and Sir Walter Scott. Indeed, \u003cem\u003eHermsprong\u003c\/em\u003e is built around debate, and celebrates the pleasures of the lively exchange of ideas.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis Broadview edition contains extensive primary source appendices including material by William Godwin, Benjamin Franklin, Pierre de Charlevoix, and Voltaire.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadview Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66233379324253,"sku":null,"price":34.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781551112794.jpg?v=1792201563","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/hermsprong","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
