Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Brewers classic volume transforms our view of England in the 18th century as comprehensively as Simon Schamas The Embarrassment of Riches did of the Netherlands of the 17th century. This book examines the birth and development of English high culture in the 18th century. It charts the growth of a literary and artistic world fostered by publishers, theatrical and musical impresarios, picture dealers and auctioneers and presented to the public in coffee-houses, concert halls, libraries, theatres and pleasure gardens. Its purpose is to show how literature, painting, music and the theatre were communicated to a public increasinly avid for them. The towering figures of the time are here Johnson, Reynolds, Garrick and Handel but also lesser known figures such as Thomas Bewick the Newcastle engraver and the Lichfield literary bluestocking Anna Seward. Brewer explores the alleys and garrets of Grub Street, rummages the shelves of bookshops and libraries, peers through printsellers shop windows and slips behind the scenes at Drury Lane. It reveals a picture of English artistic and literary life which is more surprising, more various and more convincing than any we have seen before. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. BREWER, John [720] pp. Farrar Straus Giroux 1997 9 1/2" x 6 7/8" The Pleasures of the Imagination examines the birth and development of English "high culture" in the eighteenth century. It charts the growth of a literary and artistic world fostered by publishers, theatrical and musical impresarios, picture dealers and auctioneers, and presented to th public in coffee-houses, concert halls, libraries, theatres and pleasure gardens. In 1660, there were few professional authors, musicians and painters, no public concert series, galleries, newspaper critics or reviews. By the dawn of the nineteenth century they were all aprt of the cultural life of the nation. John Brewer's enthralling book explains how this happened and recreates the world in which the great works of English eighteenth-century art were made. Its purpose is to show how literature, painting, music and the theatre were communicated to a public increasingly avid for them. It explores the alleys and garrets of Grub Street, rummages the shelves of bookshops and libraries, peers through printsellers' shop windows and into artists' studios, and slips behind the scenes at Drury Lane and Covent Garden. It takes us out of Gay and Boswell's London to visit the debating clubs, poetry circles, ballrooms, concert halls, music festivals, theatres and assemblies that made the culture of English provincial towns, and shows us how the national landscape became one of Britain's greatest cultural treasures. It reveals to us a picture of English artistic and literary life in the eighteenth century less familiar, but more suprising, more various and more convincing than any we have seen before.

Published by Harper Collins in 1997. Paperback. How is it that at the end of the 17th century there was almost no native English tradition in painting, theatre, music or publishing, yet by the end of the 18th century England had one of Europe's richest cultures? This book explains this transformation and provides a portrait of English culture in the 18th century. John Brewer's book explains the ways in which literature, painting, music and the theatre were communicated to the public; how the roles of writers, painters, musicians and actors change.
