The Warrior, the Voyager, and the Artist: Three Lives in an Age of Empire (The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-Century Culture and History) - Hardcover
Book 37 of 49: The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-Century Culture and History
Synopsis
A portrait of empire through the biographies of a Native American, a Pacific Islander, and the British artist who painted them both
Three interconnected eighteenth-century lives offer a fresh account of the British empire and its intrusion into Indigenous societies. This engaging history brings together the stories of Joshua Reynolds and two Indigenous men, the Cherokee Ostenaco and the Ra‘iatean Mai. Fullagar uncovers the life of Ostenaco, tracing his emergence as a warrior, his engagement with colonists through war and peace, and his eventual rejection of imperial politics during the American Revolution. She delves into the story of Mai, examining his confrontation with conquest and displacement, his voyage to London on Cook’s imperial expedition, and his return home with a burning ambition to right past wrongs. Woven throughout is a new history of Reynolds—growing up in Devon near a key port in England, becoming a portraitist of empire, rising to the top of Britain’s art world, and yet remaining ambivalent about his nation’s expansionist trajectory.

This engaging history of empire brings together the stories of Joshua Reynolds and two of his portraiture subjects - Ostenaco and Mai - and explores the intrusion of the British Empire into indigenous societies and the resilience of two peoples. Fullagar uncovers the life of Ostenaco, tracing his emergence as a Cherokee warrior, his engagement with colonists through war and peace, and his eventual rejection of imperial politics during the American Revolution. She delves into the story of Mai, exploring his youth in Ra'iatea, his confrontation with war and displacement, his voyage to London on Cook's imperial expedition, and his return home with a burning ambition to right past wrongs. Woven throughout is the story of Joshua Reynolds, growing up in Devon near a key port in England, becoming a portraitist of empire, rising to the top of Britain's art world and yet maintaining an ambivalence about his nation's expansionist trajectory." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Prologue: On Lives and Empire; 1 The Warrior-Diplomat: Ostenaco of the Appalachians; 2 The Artist-Philosopher: Reynolds in Britain; 3 A Cherokee Envoy and the Portrait That Failed; 4 Home to a New World: Ostenaco's American Revolution; Interlude: On Ornaments; 5 Man on a Mission: Mai from Ra'iatea; 6 The Master Ascendant: Reynolds Becomes President; 7 A Pacific Celebrity and the Portrait That Worked; 8 Return of the Traveler: Mai's Last Voyage; Epilogue: On Dying in the Eighteenth Century; Notes; Acknowledgments; Index.
