Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 21-36, March 2026.
Abstract Scholars have tended to interpret Thomas Nettleton's bestselling Virtue and Happiness (1729) as an Epicurean work. In contrast, I argue that this book was constructed partly from extensive paraphrases of the writings of Locke, Shaftesbury, and Hutcheson.
