Summary: "Citt and Bumpkin" by Sir Roger L'Estrange is a political satire written in the late 17th century, during a time of intense social and political upheaval in England. This work is structured as a dialogue, featuring two characters: Citt, a savvy London citizen, and Bumpkin, a naïve rural bumpkin. Through their conversation, the text explores themes of political conspiracy, the impact of the Popish Plot, and the complexities of religious and governmental authority in Restoration England. The opening of "Citt and Bumpkin" immediately draws readers into a lively tavern conversation where the two main characters discuss their various tactics to promote petitions. Citt shares insights into the underhanded methods used to gather support, while Bumpkin reflects on the challenges faced in the countryside. As they detail their strategies, the irony of their corruption and dishonest practices unfolds, shedding light on the political animosities of their time. The dialogue cleverly critiques both the characters' immoral behaviors and the broader implications of political dissent and manipulation in a deeply divided society, setting the stage for further exploration of these themes throughout the work.
