Book Description
This is a study of portrait painting and what the paintings tell about 18th-century social history. The author's aim is to introduce the 18th century portrait according to the sitter and to interpret the ideas and meanings contained in the portrait to show what they tell about contemporary society and culture. The artists chosen from a wide range of sources show portrait painting at its high point in the history of British art. They include Reynolds, Kneller, Gainsborough, Hogarth, Lely, Ramsay, Raeburn, Romney and Stubbs along with less well-known painters.

Book Description
'The perfect guide to the hidden history of London's streets.' BBC History Magazine In Cruickshank's London, Britain's favourite architectural historian describes thirteen walks through one of the greatest cities on earth. From the mysterious Anglo-Saxon origins of Hampstead Heath, via Christopher Wren's magisterial City churches, to the industrial bustle of Victorian Bermondsey, each walk explores a crucial moment in our history - and reveals how it helped forge the modern city. Along the way, Cruickshank peppers the book with vivid photographs, sketches and maps, so you can immediately follow in his footsteps. Every street in London contains a story. This book invites you to hear them. ___ 'An inspiringly illustrated guide to walks across London . . . It proves how much we can miss if we don't pay close attention to our surroundings.' Country Life 'All power to Cruickshank and his intrepid and knowledgeable kind. We need them.' Times Literary Supplement

Book Description
These thirteen essays offer not only the representations of Swift to which its title refers but also a representation of Swift scholarship at the close of the twentieth century and a return to fundamental questions about the life, writing, and views of Swift, issues raised in part by literary scholarship's return to historicism but also powerfully suggestive of a return to biography.
