More about the book

The book explores the emergence of English "high culture" during the eighteenth century, detailing how publishers, theatrical impresarios, and art dealers contributed to a vibrant literary and artistic scene. It highlights the transformation from a time with few professional artists to a flourishing cultural landscape filled with public performances, exhibitions, and critical discourse by the early nineteenth century. Key venues like coffeehouses and theatres played a significant role in making art and literature accessible to the public, shaping a new cultural identity.
