Textual Vision offers a new and original perspective on Enlightenment visual culture as a contested area of representation, and its discussions of major authors like Alexander Pope, Samuel Johnson, and Jane Austen are both learned and persuasive. This readable, well-written study also features Henry and Sarah Fielding, Samuel Richardson, William Hogarth, and G.F. Handel, among others.
