Kelly shows how political poems were circulated in manuscript in the later seventeenth century, not unlike some of Milton’s own political sonnets, which had a limited manuscript circulation, and were not printed in some cases some until many years after his death. The author of the anonymously-circulated poem, “A Dialogue between King James and King William,” is Charles Blount (1654–1693), a radical Whig author who wrote mostly in prose. In the manuscript poem, Blount imagines a conversation between King James and King William after James fled to Ireland, when William rose to power in what is known as the Glorious Revolution of 1688.Downloads
