Dunton's Ghost: Or A Speech To The Most Remarkable Persons In Church And State is a book written by John Dunton and published in 1714. The book is a satirical work that takes the form of a speech given by the ghost of Dunton to a group of notable figures from the Church and State. The speech is a scathing critique of the corruption and hypocrisy that Dunton sees in these institutions, and he uses his platform as a ghost to call out specific individuals for their misdeeds. Throughout the book, Dunton employs a witty and irreverent tone, poking fun at the foibles of his targets and making pointed observations about the state of society at the time.Despite its satirical nature, Dunton's Ghost is also a work of social commentary, offering insights into the political and religious climate of early 18th-century England.
