The argument of "Would-be Politic," the assigned critical analysis essay. What does the author intend to argue and what evidence do they mobilize to make that argument? the author wants to say that would-be politic a" downwardly mobile English gentleman, is represented as foolish reflections of the idealized politically astute reader who treats their travels as a demonstration of their political competency". This argue mean to me that would -be politic is just a low-class person who happens to be an English gentleman, he is like a fool who is trying to represent as perfect someone who does politics also, he shows himself as if he cleverly "critiques the intellectual valorization of this mode of intelligence work, reminding audiences through the farce of Would-be's humiliation that his travels have not advanced his political position nor educated him as a competent reader of politics". The stage participated in this outgrowth of foreign travel writing through the repeated attempts by playwrights to recreate.
