Abstract

[During the 1760s and early 1770s, the pamphlet controversy over the prospect of an American bishop, advocated most recently by Thomas Bradbury Chandler and opposed by Charles Chauncy, was dramatically transformed and brought to the attention of a wider public audience. The debate became the centre of a propaganda strategy that was designed and executed by leaders of the Sons of Liberty in Boston, Samuel and John Adams, and the radical John Wilkes in London.’ Each of these men was an accomplished essayist and contributed essays or arranged the publication of such material in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and London.]
