Summary "The Eighteenth Century in English Caricature" by Selwyn Brinton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work provides a comprehensive exploration of caricature as an art form in 18th-century England, specifically focusing on how it served to reflect and critique society, politics, and culture during that period. It examines renowned caricaturists like William Hogarth, Henry William Bunbury, James Gillray, and Thomas Rowlandson, illustrating their contributions to the genre and the broader historical context of their work. The opening of the book introduces the concept of caricature, tracing its etymology and significance as a satirical art form that captures the essence of human experience through humor and critique. It discusses the social and political climate of England in the 18th century, emphasizing how the era provided fertile ground for the flourishing of caricature as a genre. Additionally, it highlights William Hogarth's prominence in the field as a pioneer who not only utilized caricature for humor but also imparted moral lessons through his works, setting the stage for a deeper examination of the various caricaturists and their unique styles throughout the book.
