John Arbuthnot war ein schottischer Arzt und Satiriker, der für seinen Witz und Intellekt gefeiert wurde. Als Gründungsmitglied des angesehenen Scriblerus-Clubs inspirierte sein Einfluss viele seiner Zeitgenossen. Arbuthnots Schreibstil zeichnet sich durch Leichtigkeit, Menschlichkeit und scheinbares Mitgefühl aus und weist oft stilistische Ähnlichkeiten mit Jonathan Swift auf. Trotz seiner bewussten Vermeidung von Anerkennung und seiner Neigung, seine eigenen Werke zu vernichten, stellen seine Schriften einen bedeutenden Beitrag zur satirischen Literatur seiner Zeit dar.
