Product Description
Review
Praise for Pleasures of the Imagination'If you want to understand how British culture reinvented itself in the 18th century, read The Pleasures of the Imagination... Like all really original achievements it makes us sharply rethink things we supposed we knew well, but it does so with humour and humanity, and through the text runs Brewer's remarkable intellect: forceful, lucid and penetrating.' Simon Schama'John Brewer has written an accessible, suggestive and fascinating book... His canvas is vast.' Victoria Glendinning, Daily Telegraph'The Pleasures of the Imagination is a feast... One could not hope for a more accomplished or enjoyable account of its subject than this long but unfailingly compelling book, which is packed with fascinating detail and written with commanding boldness, clarity and verve.' Blair Worden, Spectator
Daily Telegraph
'an eclectic history that delves into scandal, politics, the aristocracy, literary London and the changing nature of news reporting.'
