Ian Haywood explores the 'Golden Age' of caricature through the
close reading of key, iconic prints by artists including James
Gillray, George and Robert Cruikshank, and Thomas Rowlandson. This
approach both illuminates the visual and ideological complexity of
graphic satire and demonstrates how this art form transformed
Romantic-era politics into a unique and compelling spectacle of
corruption, monstrosity and resistance. New light is cast on major
Romantic controversies including the 'revolution debate' of the
1790s, the impact of Thomas Paine's 'infidel' Age of Reason, the
introduction of paper money and the resulting explosion of
executions for forgery, the propaganda campaign against Napoleon,
the revolution in Spain, the Peterloo massacre, the Queen Caroline
scandal, and the Reform Bill crisis. Overall, the volume offers
important new insights into the relationship between art, satire
and politics in a key period of history.
