Sommario/riassunto

<span><span>This book is a wide-ranging study of British literature and art from the late seventeenth through the early nineteenth centuries, one that stresses the connections between visual and verbal representation. Key emphases of the book include aesthetics, the aims and motives of individual producers of culture, evolving modes of satire, and the crucial connections between high and low art, the polite and the popular.</span></span><br /><span><span>
