BOOK: A Life and a World - William Hogarth

• Hogarth (1697-1764) perhaps, via his satirical painting and engravings, perhaps did more than anyone to capture 18th century London. History (and London) comes to life in this book, in the voices of himself, Swift, Gay and Pope and his friends Fielding and Garrick.
