Shakespeare, Hogarth and Garrick

Shakespeare, Hogarth and Garrick

Robin Simon

Paul Holberton Publishing Ltd
2023

In London in 1770 Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742–1799) remarked, ‘What a work could be written on Shakespeare, Hogarth and Garrick! There is something similar in the genius of all three.’ Two-and-a-half centuries on, Robin Simon’s highly original and illuminating book takes up the challenge. William Hogarth (1697–1764) and David Garrick (1717–1779) closely associated themselves with Shakespeare, embodying a relationship between plays, painting and performance that had been understood since Antiquity and which shaped the rules for history painting drawn up by the Académie royale in Paris in the seventeenth century. History painting was considered the highest form of art: a picture illustrating a moment drawn from just a few lines in a revered text. Hogarth’s David Garrick as Richard III (1745) transformed those ideas because, although it looked like a history painting, it was also a portrait of an actor in performance. With it, Hogarth established the genre of theatrical portraiture, a new and distinctively British kind of history painting. This book offers a fresh examination of theatrical portraits through close analysis of the pictures and of the texts used in performance. It also examines the central role of the theatre in British culture, while highlighting the significance of Shakespeare, Hogarth and Garrick in the European Enlightenment and the rise of Romanticism. In this context another trio of genius features prominently: Lichtenberg, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and Denis Diderot. Familiar paintings and performances are seen in an entirely new light, while unfamiliar pictures are also introduced, including major paintings and drawings that have never been published. The final chapter shows that the inter-relationship between plays, painting and performance survived into the age of cinema, revealing the pictorial sources of Laurence Olivier’s legendary film Richard III.

Mr. Hogarth's Will

Mr. Hogarth's Will

Catherine Helen Spence

Double 9 Books
2025
pokkari
Mr. Hogarth's will is a social novel that examines the moral and economic challenges faced by women in a society governed by rigid expectations. Through the story of two orphaned sisters who lose their inheritance to an illegitimate heir, the book explores ideas of independence, resilience, and the pursuit of self-sufficiency. It contrasts the despair that comes from dependence with the empowerment born of personal effort. The narrative opens with the somber atmosphere following the death of their uncle and the unexpected reading of his will, which strips the sisters of security and forces them to confront the harsh realities of life without privilege. Amid uncertainty, one sister embraces the struggle to achieve independence through work and education, while the other turns inward toward creative expression. Their diverging responses reveal both the emotional and practical difficulties of women attempting to define their own destinies. The novel blends social commentary with moral reflection, illustrating the tension between societal convention and individual strength.

Leonard and Virginia Woolf, The Hogarth Press and the Networks of Modernism

Leonard and Virginia Woolf, The Hogarth Press and the Networks of Modernism

Edinburgh University Press
2010
sidottu
This multi-authored volume focuses on Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press (1917-1941). Scholars from the UK and the US use previously unpublished archival materials and new methodological frameworks to explore the relationships forged by the Woolfs via the Press and to gauge the impact of their editorial choices on writing and culture. Combining literary criticism, book history, biography and sociology, the chapters weave together the stories of the lesser known authors, artists and press workers with the canonical names linked to the press following a 'rich, dialogic' forum or network. The book brings together a wide range of thematic material in three sections - 'Class and Culture', 'Global Bloomsbury' and 'Marketing Other Modernisms'. Topics addressed in the book include imperialism, the middlebrow, religion, translation, the marketplace and poetry, with case studies on West Indian writer C.L.R. James, Welsh poet Huw Menai, child poet Joan Easdale and American artist E. McKnight Kauffer. This original collection will contribute to three vibrant sub-fields now remaking twentieth-century scholarship: print culture, modernist studies, and Woolf studies. Key features: * A significant intervention in current debates on theorising and contextualising modernism * Draws on established Hogarth Press and author-specific archives to open up previously-neglected writers for fresh study * Provides a new view of the Woolfs' achievements as publishers * Sets the agenda for further scholarship in advance of the centenary of the founding of the Press in 2017
