This is an impressive and lucid survey of eighteenth-century intellectual life, providing a real sense of the complexity of the age and of the cultural and intellectual climate in which imaginative literature flourished. It reflects on some of the dominant themes of the period, arguing against such labels as 'Augustan Age', 'Age of Enlightenment' and 'Age of Reason', which have been attached to the eighteenth-century by critics and historians.

Shrill, beefy, drilled - hard bodies populate pop culture and science books alike. The essays in this volume trace the flexing muscles of the hard body in various disciplines and spatio-temporal contexts: from the medieval wooer in tights to the soldier in a bombsuit, from sculpted marble bodies to the treacherous images of German Terrormadels, from 19th century self-improvement manuals to 21st century technoporn, from Ballets Russes to Charlie's Angels, from Afro-Brazilian male sleeping beauties to the black female war machine.

In the 1860s, the brothers Richard and Samuel Redgrave sat down to write the book that was, in effect, the first popular account of British painting. With remarkable industry, they examined and sifted through the earlier studies and documentary sources while also contributing a great deal of firsthand knowledge. Many of the artists of the time were personal friends or acquaintances, and Richard Redgrave was a member of the Royal Academy.
