Michelle O'Callaghan argues that the lawyer-wits, together with John Donne, Ben Jonson, and Thomas Coryate, inaugurated a mode of literary fellowship that shaped the history and literature of sociability in the seventeenth century. This study will provide many insights for historians and literary scholars of the period.
