A Vision of Liberty and Monarchical Change in a Dream
In a dream set beside a couch in a country famed for liberty and arts, a reader notes a once beloved king's death and a new young monarch's rise. A visitor cautions about a ruling junta and corrupt ministers, urging parliamentary reform, fiscal accountability, and reverence for laws. The scene shifts to a public assembly where Beckford’s ghost denounces resilience against lawful authority and calls for upright governance and trusted oversight. The dream ends back in Little Britain.
