Green cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. Numerous b/w Illustrations / Plates. 223 pages clean and tight. Few observers of the English social and political scene have been as astute, cynical or brutal as William Hogarth. His paintings and drawings teem with the arrogance, corruption and cruelty of the rich and professional classes of England and with the hideous, sordid conditions of the poor. Derek Jarrett's book skilfully weaves the artist's life with the life of the country. It shows that Hogarth was a perfect mirror of the essence of mid-eighteenth century England - tough, energetic, rough at the edges, powerful in its faith, its intolerances, its appetites, a far cry from the elegant fripperies of the Age of Reason. And it highlights Hogarth's own ambiguities - his mixture of disdain and envy, complacency, euphoria, puritanism and disgust. No ownership inscription. Small ink number on ffep. Numerous b/w Illustrations / Plates. 223 pages clean and tight. No book has better given the feel of what the mid-Georgian age was like. Widely acclaimed when first published, this well-illustrated social history is reissued with a new preface and updated notes and guide to further reading. Size: 8vo. Seller Inventory # 132173
