Hogarth by Ronald Paulson
Dryden
'This is an astonishing book, and I don't know when I last read anything on the 18th century from which I learned as muchIt is a quite remarkably full chronicle of Hogarth's life, based on the exhaustive information Paulson has exhumed from manuscript records, from newspapers, and from the writings of his contemporaries [...]. Nothing so ambitious has been attempted for any other British artist of the period, and no one else would have the range of learning necessary to make the attempt.' John Barrell, London Review of Books, Vol. 16, No. 7, 7 April 1994 From the Reviews of the Original Two volumes: "This is the definitive work and, barring almost inconceivable future scholarly finds, will remain the definitive work." Art in America "Henceforth no one working in any field that Hogarth touched can afford not to begin with Mr. Paulson's splendid book." Times Literary Supplement.
