Modern scholars have almost always connected Steele to Joseph Addison, emphasizing Steele's morals-and-manners journalism—but this is not a fair representation of his output. Identifying the connections between Steele and Hogarth allows us to appreciate each man's…

Representations of Revolution (1789-1820)
Versions of a Human Sublime
STUDIES of the sublime, from Burke to Monk and Hipple, used to focus on the enumeration of qualities in the sublime object or, more precisely, as they are reflected in the mind of the spectator (pain, obscurity, power, privation, vastness, difficulty). In the last decade, mediated by Nietzsche and Freud, by Harold Bloom and Thomas Weiskel, the focus has shifted to the agon between subject and object. The former both/either a participant within a …

The Harlot's Progress and the Tradition of History Painting
IN HIS PREFACE to Joseph Andrews (1742) Fielding associated himself as author of epic in prose with Hogarth as history painter. He was employing familiar analogy between the epic and history painting, the most exalted genres of poetry and respectively, and he alluded to Hogarth's prints to suggest how Joseph Andrews related to the literary tradition. A great deal has been written about the comic epic in prose, but very little about the comic hist…

The twelve plates of Industry and Idleness, which Hogarth published in 1747, tell of two apprentices whose stories are as simple as their names: Francis Goodchild and Tom Idle.1 In Plate 1 Goodchild directs the thread on his loom as he directs his life by the Prentice's Guide and the ballads of Dick Whittington and The London Prentice toward the Whittingtonian goal of mayorship. Tom Idle dozes, relinquishing control of his spindle; his Prentice's…
