'Jenny Uglow is one of the most talented of contemporary biographers. Hogarth is her masterpiece. I expected it to be well-researched and fluently written, and it is; but it also crackles with vitality and sparkles with insights. She recreates Hogarth's mercurial genius most dramatically, as well as the turbulent and sophisticated eighteenth-century world he inhabited. You can feel his presence in this book. It is a wonderful achievement.' Michael Holroyd'The author's Hogarthian vitality and enthusiasm are infectious. It's a marvellous book.' Victoria Glendinning, Literary Review
