摘要

To be a Foxite was to be intimately and voluntarily connected with the cult of Charles James Fox; more than just a political leader, Fox can be seen as the master of ceremonies within the sphere of Foxite sociability, the ringmaster of both political and convivial activities. As Mitchell puts it, ‘Fox enjoyed and encouraged friendships more than most men. Foxite politics was often an extension of friendship’ (Leslie, Mitchell, Charles James Fox (Oxford, 1992) p. 92).
