Hogarth has long been viewed as an insular and chauvinistic
individual, with a particular aversion to all things French. On the
contrary, while Hogarth himself liked to project this image, his
effective invention of British art was founded upon a profound
knowledge of contemporary French art and theory. This lavishly
illustrated book conjures up in great detail the French and wider
European context within which Hogarth's art was formed. Robin Simon
examines the ways in which Hogarth interacted with and influenced
his contemporaries not only in painting and printmaking, but also
in sculpture, poetry, the novel, the theater, public life, art
education, copyright law, music and opera. In this wide-ranging but
richly detailed book, full of analyses of individual works, the
author draws upon a mass of new material, with fresh analyses of
Hogarth's most famous and less well-known works alike, opening a
window on to one of the most creative and formative periods in
British life. Robin Simon, FSA, is Editor of The British Art
Journal, having been Editor of Apollo magazine and a tenured
university academic for many years before that. He is the author of
many scholarly articles on British art, and his books include The
Portrait in Britain and America (1987).
