The Wanton Line : Hogarth and the public life of longitude /Katy Barrett "This thesis considers the eighteenth-century search for the longitude through Plate 8 of William Hogarths's A Rake's Progress, where a 'longitude lunatic' seeks to solve the problem on the wall of his cell in Bedlam. In doing so, it addresses two linked issues: first how the longitude problem was discussed by the wider British community, and how this affected the actors directly involved in seeking the solution; and second, what was so iconic about this problem that made Hogarth place it at the centre of his modern moral series about a young man ruing by London society. This thesis combines considerations of longitude from plays, poems, religious tracts, novels, prints, paintings and correspondence, alongside the archices and instruments that recorded the search by the Board of Longitude. Useful parallels emerge between the Board's most famous applicant, John Harrison, and William Hogarth's career."--Provided by the author. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 7Hogarth

Hogarth and Europe / edited by Alice Insley and Martin Myrone ; contributions by Sonia E. "It was a century of war (mostly) and peace (occasionally), of extraordinary wealth and grinding poverty, gargantuan appetites and desperate famines, high ideals and hypocrisy, a century of intellectual, social and religious turmoil. In this fertile turbulence flourished one of Britain's greatest artists: painter, printmaker, satirist, and social critic William Hogarth, of whom the essayist and poet Charles Lamb once said, 'Other pictures we look at; his pictures we read'. Illustrating the full range of Hogarth's most important paintings and prints, this book shows them in a new light, juxtaposed with work by major European contemporaries who influenced him or took their inspiration from him in their painting of modern life - including Watteau, Chardin, Troost and Longhi. Hogarth is revealed not only as a key figure in British art history, but also as a major European artist. It is also a tale of four cities: London, Paris, Venice and Amsterdam, represented in maps from the period. The themes of city life, social protest, sexuality and satire which come to the fore in the art of Hogarth and his contemporaries are very much live today."--Provided by the publisher. 2021. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 940.2

James Gillray : a revolution in satire /Tim Clayton. "James Gillray (1756-1815) was late Georgian Britain's funniest, most inventive, and most celebrated graphic satirist and continues to influence cartoonists today. His exceptional drawing, matched by his flair for clever dialogue and amusing titles, won him unprecedented fame; his sophisticated designs often parodied artists such as William Hogarth, Joshua Reynolds, and Henry Fuseli, while he borrowed and wittily redeployed celebrated passages from William Shakespeare and John Milton to send up politicians in an age - as now - where society was fast changing, anxieties abounded, truth was sometimes scarce, and public opinion mattered. Tim Clayton's definitive biography explores Gillray's life and work through his friends, publishers - the most important being women - and collaborators, aiming to identify those involved in inventing satirical prints and the people who bought them. Clayton thoughtfully explores the tensions between artistic independence, financial necessity, and the conflicting demands of patrons and self-appointed censors in a time of political and social turmoil."--Provided by the publisher. 2022. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 741.5/942
