"The Spirit of Despotism" is a political treatise written by Vicesimus Knox, an English essayist and clergyman, first published in 1795. The book is a critical examination of the nature and consequences of despotism, exploring its various forms and manifestations throughout history. Knox begins by defining despotism as a form of government characterized by the absolute power and arbitrary rule of a single individual or group. He argues that despotism is inherently oppressive and tyrannical, depriving individuals of their natural rights and freedoms. Drawing upon examples from ancient and modern history, Knox identifies the key features of despotism, including censorship, surveillance, and the suppression of dissent. He explores how despotic rulers use fear, intimidation, and propaganda to maintain control over their subjects, creating a climate of suspicion and obedience. One of the central themes of "The Spirit of Despotism" is the relationship between despotism and corruption. Knox argues that despotism breeds corruption by concentrating power in the hands of a small elite, who use their influence for personal gain at the expense of the common good. Throughout the book, Knox also examines the role of religion, law, and education in perpetuating or challenging despotism. He argues that a free press, an independent judiciary, and an educated citizenry are essential safeguards against despotism, providing checks and balances to prevent the abuse of power. "The Spirit of Despotism" is not only a critique of authoritarian rule but also a call to action for citizens to resist tyranny and defend their liberties. Knox advocates for political reform, constitutional government, and the promotion of civic virtue as antidotes to the corrosive influence of despotism. Although written more than two centuries ago, "The Spirit of Despotism" remains relevant today as a warning against the dangers of unchecked power and a reminder of the enduring struggle for freedom and democracy. Knox's insights into the nature of despotism continue to resonate with readers, offering valuable lessons for confronting authoritarianism in all its forms.

This book presents ten new chapters on John Keats's medical imagination, beginning with his practical engagement with dissection and surgery, and the extraordinary poems he wrote during his 'busy time' at Guy's Hospital 1815-17. The Physical Society at Guy's and the demands of a medical career are explored, as are the lyrical spheres of botany, melancholia, and Keats's strange oxymoronic poetics of suspended animation. Here too are links between surveillance of patients at Bedlam and of inner city streets that were walked by the poet of 'To Autumn'. The book concludes with a survey of multiple romantic pathologies of that most Keatsian of diseases, pulmonary tuberculosis.
