Aaron Hill
Author: Christine GerrardPublisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780198183884
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
During his lifetime Aaron Hill was one of the most lively cultural patrons and brokers on the London literary scene - an image hard to square with the company of undistinguished scribblers to which Pope relegated him in the Dunciad. Aaron Hill: The Muses' Projector, 1685-1750, the firstbiography of this fascinating figure for nearly a century, aims to correct the distorted picture of the Augustan cultural scene which Pope passed down to posterity. Hill deliberately confronted Pope in his attempt to free poetry's sublime and visionary potential from the stale platitudes ofneo-classical convention. An early champion of women poets, he also enjoyed close relationships with Eliza Haywood and Martha Fowke, and brought his three writing daughters Urania, Astrea, and Minerva into close contact with his lifelong friend the novelist Samuel Richardson. In 1711 Hill, as stagemanager and librettist, introduced Handel to the English stage, as well as lobbying tirelessly for innovation in the eighteenth-century theatre. His entrepreneurial energies, directed at both commercial and cultural projects, mirror the zeitgeist of early Hanoverian Britain.
Bolingbroke and His Circle
Author: Isaac KramnickPublisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501731793
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
"Behind this study lie two questions. Why is Bolingbroke, known primarily as a rationalist philosopher of the Enlightenment, so worshipped by English conservatives who are themselves, since Burke, so set against what the Enlightenment represents in political, social, and religious thought? The second question relates to Bolingbroke's public life. How does one explain the intense animosity between Bolingbroke and Walpole which provides the energy for English political life between 1725 and 1740? Is it mere vindictiveness, ambition, jealousy, or the inevitable reflex of the 'outsider' against the 'insider'? Or is it, as the late Victorian writers thought, their falling out at Eton which forever fated them to be protagonists?"—from the Preface.

Excerpt from Faction Detected, by the Evidence of Facts: Containing an Impartial View of Parties at Home, and Affairs Abroad Thefe Evils of Faction in a Republican Form, prevented its Revival again in the fame Shape. - The People of England had (fince the Union of the two Houfes of Ybrk and Lancayler)' never feen it in another. - They therefore feared it in no other. This gave it Opportunity to thew itfelf in a new Form, and Oppofition became again a Faction in the Reign of the late King William, and a Faition of a much more dangerous Nature than the firft. For whereas the Republicans, who are the Leaders of the firfi: Faction, are in this Country little more than Whigs overheated by Opprefiion, and an extravagant Abufe of Power as in rea lity there is very little of that Principle exii'ting among Men of Property andffortune, and as it is chiefly confined to Men of an inferior Olafs; they may be eafily brought to moderate their Views by what it is in the Power of every hohei't Government to apply But the Leaders of the fecond F action fet out with Expeetations, that no Government, without being felo def}, can gratify. F or they fet out upon the View of changing the Prince upon the Throne, and in necefiary Confequence to transform the Confiitution and Religion of the Kingdom.
