 abstract = {‘If the Body Politique have any Analogy to the Natural, in my weak judgment, an Act of Oblivion were as necessary in a Hot, Distemper’d State, as anOpiatewoud be in a Raging Fever.’ So Dryden wrote in the preface to that masterpiece of bodily politics,Absalom and Achitophel.¹ I would postpone, for a moment, an inquiry into the strategies of this analogy, or of the whole of that superb essay on body politics that constitutes the poem itself; but I want to register here both the analogy and the hypothetical mood into which Dryden has cast that most},
