About the book

Hogarth's England explores eighteenth-century English society through the work of William Hogarth, the celebrated painter, engraver and social satirist. Hogarth's images vividly depict taverns, streets, theatres, prisons, fashionable homes and many other aspects of contemporary life. His famous narrative series exposed drunkenness, greed, prostitution, political corruption and social ambition while also displaying enormous sympathy for ordinary people. The book uses Hogarth's art as a window onto Georgian England, revealing both its elegance and its darker realities.
