This is the story of the forging of a national cultural institution
in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain. The Royal
Academy of Arts was the dominant art school and exhibition society
in London and a model for art societies across the British Isles
and North America. This is the first study of its early years,
re-evaluating the Academy's significance in national cultural life
and its profile in an international context. Holger Hoock
reassesses royal and state patronage of the arts and explores the
concepts and practices of cultural patriotism and the
politicization of art during the American and French Revolutions.
By demonstrating how the Academy shaped the notions of an English
and British school of art and influenced the emergence of the
British cultural state, he illuminates the politics of national
culture and the character of British public life in an age of war,
revolution, and reform.
