Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Sir Nathan Wright (1653–1721) served in the offices of both Recorder and Deputy Recorder of Leicester, and also as Lord Keeper of the Great Seal under King William III and then Queen Anne. He did not, however, have a good reputation amongst some of his contemporaries during the period known by historians as ‘the rage of party’. Twentieth-century historians consider him to have been an extravagant spender, mainly for buying up landed estates. This paper challenges this view by using information from a previously neglected manuscript – namely, Wright’s own notebook. His role in local and national politics is also re-appraised. | ||
