The cultural highlights of the reign of Queen Anne (1702-1714) have
long been overlooked. However, recent scholarship, including the
present volume, is demonstrating that Anne has been seriously
underestimated, both as a person, and as a monarch, and that there
was much cultural activity of note in what might be called an
interim period, coming after the deaths of Dryden and Purcell but
before the blossoming of Pope and Handel, after the glories of
Baroque architecture but before the triumph of Burlingtonian
neoclassicism. The authors of Queen Anne and the Arts make a case
for Anne's reign as a time of experimentation and considerable
accomplishment in new genres, some of which developed, some of
which faded away. The volume includes essays on the music, drama,
poetry, quasi-operas, political pamphlets, and architecture, as
well as on newer genres, such as coin and medal collecting, hymns,
and poetical miscellanies, all produced during Anne's reign.
