Arguing that the two traditions comprised not only painterly but also literary theory and practice, Paulson explores the innovations of Henry Fielding, John Cleland, Laurence Sterne, and Oliver Goldsmith, which followed and complemented the practice in the visual arts of Hogarth and his followers. 330 $aIn The Beautiful, Novel, and Strange Ronald Paulson fills a lacuna in studies of aesthetics at its point of origin in England in the 1700s. He shows how aesthetics took off not only from British empiricism but also from such forms of religious heterodoxy as deism. The third earl of Shaftesbury, the founder of aesthetics, replaced the Christian God of rewards and punishments with beauty - worship of God, with a taste for a work of art. William Hogarth, reacting against Shaftesbury's "disinterestedness," replaced his Platonic abstractions with an aesthetics centered on the human body, gendered female, and based on an epistemology of curiosity, pursuit, and seduction. Paulson shows Hogarth creating, first in practice and then in theory, a middle area between the Beautiful and the Sublime by adapting Joseph Addison's category (in the Spectator) of the Novel, Uncommon, and Strange. 606 $aLitterature et societe$zGrande-Bretagne$y18e siecle$2ram 606 $aArt et litterature$zGrande-Bretagne$y18e siecle$2ram 606 $aRoman anglais$y18e siecle$xHistoire et critique$2ram 606 $aLitterature anglaise$y18e siecle$xHistoire et critique$2ram 606 $aEsthetique$zGrande-Bretagne$y18e siecle$2ram 606 $aEsthetica$2gtt 606 $aLetterkunde$2gtt 606 $aEngels$2gtt 606 $aLiterature and society$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01000096 606 $aFiction$xTechnique$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00923755 606 $aEnglish fiction$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00910817 606 $aArt and literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00815400 606 $aAesthetics, British$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00798754 606 $aFiction$xTechnique 606 $aLiterature and society$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aAesthetics, British$y18th century 606 $aArt and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aEnglish fiction$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 608 $aHistory. 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 610 0 $aVisual arts$aAesthetics 615 7$aLitterature et societe 615 7$aArt et litterature 615 7$aRoman anglais$xHistoire et critique. 615 7$aLitterature anglaise$xHistoire et critique. 615 7$aEsthetique 615 17$aEsthetica. 615 17$aLetterkunde. 615 17$aEngels. 615 0$aLiterature and society. 615 0$aFiction$xTechnique. 615 0$aEnglish fiction. 615 0$aArt and literature. 615 0$aAesthetics, British. 615 0$aFiction$xTechnique. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aAesthetics, British 615 0$aArt and literature$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 700 $aPaulson$b Ronald$0132013 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524853203321 996 $aThe Beautiful, Novel, and Strange$92676817 997 $aUNINA
