Product Description
Hogarth (1697-1764) is one of the most versatile, innovative and celebrated of all British artists. He lived at a time when Britain was emerging as an increasingly urbanized, commercialized and aggressively imperial power. His work celebrates the benefits of commerce, politeness and patriotism, while simultaneously focusing on the corruption, hypocrisy and prejudice they brought in their wake. This book provides an account of the full range of his work - from portraits of aristocrats, to satiric prints commenting on the darker side of contemporary society. His work is situated within the context of the times, from the contrasting lifestyles of the rich and poor, to crime, fashion, scandal, politics and economics. ... Read more

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.

The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.

I may add, that he once directed a letter to Doctor Benjamin Hoadly, thus: " To the Doctor at Chelsea." This epistle, however, by good luck, did not miscarry, and was preserved by the late Chancellor of Winchester, as a pleasant memorial of his friend's extraordinary inattention.Another remarkable instance of Hogarth's absence was related to Mr. Steevens, in 1781, by one of his intimate friends. Soon after he set up his carriage, he had occasion to pay a visit to the Lord Mayor. When he went, the weather was fine; but business detained him till a violent shower of rain came on. He was let out of the Mansion-house by a different door from that at which he entered, and, seeing the rain, began immediately to call for a hackney-coach. Not one was to be met with on any of the neighboring stands, and our artist sallied forth to brave the storm, and actually reached Leicester Fields without bestowing a thought on his own carriage, till Mrs. Hogarth (surprised to see him so wet and splashed) asked where he had left it.At the latter end of the year 1752, the print of Columbus Breaking the Egg was given to the world by Mr. Hogarth as a subscription ticket for The Analysis of Beauty, and was evidently intended as a sarcasm on those artists who had been accustomed to laugh at his boasted " Line of Beauty " as a discovery which every one might have made.The publication of the valuable work which it announced was expected with great avidity, and the curiosity it excited extended even to the Continent. From his friend Rouquet, who was then at Paris, Mr. Hogarth received the following letter, dated March 22, 1752-1753:"dear Sir: I expected to have been in England about this time, but find myself disappointed by the tediousn... ...
