Description
William Hogarth's Britons explores how the English painter and graphic satirist William Hogarth defined British nationhood and identity during a time of division at home and conflict abroad. Notions of community cohesion, good citizenship, and patriotism were central to his vision, set against the backdrop of a national debate on Britain's past, present, and future within European and World affairs. In 1745, Prince Charles Edward Stuart landed in Scotland with his supporters, sparking a military campaign that would test regional, local, and family loyalty. Hogarth created some of his most iconic images during this period, including Marriage A-La-Mode, O the Roast Beef of Old England (The Gate of Calais), and The March of the Guards to Finchley. Hogarth's art remains relevant today, offering insights into a pivotal moment in British history when national identity was being shaped. This book provides a fresh perspective on Hogarth's work and its enduring significance.
