Dodington, George Bubb

The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature | 2003 | 507 words | Copyright

Dodington, George Bubb (1691–1762), a time-serving politician who attained high office and a peerage (as Baron Melcombe) was author of a Diary, published posthumously in 1784, which throws much light on the venal politics of his day. It was edited in 1965 in 2 vols by J. Carswell and L. A. Dralle as The Political Journal of George Bubb Dodington. Dodington was also a patron of the arts, and in particular of James Thomson, E. Young, and H. Fielding, who dedicated Jonathan Wild to him.
