Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: The chapters constituting this book are different in subject and method, striking testimony to the range of Paulsonâs interests and the versatility of his critical powers. In his prolific career he has produced extensive analysis of art, poetry, fiction, and aesthetics produced in England between 1650 and 1830. Paulsonâs unique contribution has to do with his understanding of âseeingâ and âreadingâ as closely related enterprises, and âpopularâ forms in art and literature as intimately connectedâconnections illustrated by literary critics and art historians here. Every essay shares some of the concerns and methods that characterize Paulsonâs wonderfully idiosyncratic thoughtâexcept for the final essay, an attempt systematically to analyze Paulsonâs critical principles and methods. Recurrent themes are a concern with satire in the eighteenth century; a connection between verbal and visual reading; an insistence on the importance of individual artistic choices to the history of culture; an attention to the aims and motives of individual makers of art; and a sensitivity to the crucial links between high and low art.
This volume offers rich explorations of a range of subjects: Swiftâs relationship to Congreve; Zoffanyâs condemnation of Gillray and Hogarth, and broader implications for the role of art in public discourse; the presentation of mourning in the work of the Welsh artist and writer Edward Pugh; G. M. Woodwardâs âCoffee-House Characters,â representing a turn from satire on morals towards satire on manners; Adam Smithâs evolving aesthetic program; Samuel Richardsonâs notions of social reading. The discussions represent a variety of exemplifications of the Paulsonesque, showing a concern with satiric representation in mixed media, with different forms of heterodoxy and iconoclasm, and with the values of producers of popular and polite culture in this period.
