James Gillray : a revolution in satire /Tim Clayton. "James Gillray (1756-1815) was late Georgian Britain's funniest, most inventive, and most celebrated graphic satirist and continues to influence cartoonists today. His exceptional drawing, matched by his flair for clever dialogue and amusing titles, won him unprecedented fame; his sophisticated designs often parodied artists such as William Hogarth, Joshua Reynolds, and Henry Fuseli, while he borrowed and wittily redeployed celebrated passages from William Shakespeare and John Milton to send up politicians in an age - as now - where society was fast changing, anxieties abounded, truth was sometimes scarce, and public opinion mattered. Tim Clayton's definitive biography explores Gillray's life and work through his friends, publishers - the most important being women - and collaborators, aiming to identify those involved in inventing satirical prints and the people who bought them. Clayton thoughtfully explores the tensions between artistic independence, financial necessity, and the conflicting demands of patrons and self-appointed censors in a time of political and social turmoil."--Provided by the publisher. 2022. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 741.5/942

Military power and the Dutch Republic : war, trade and the balance of power in Europe, 1648-1813 /Marc van Alphen, Jan Hoffenaar, Alan Lemmers, Christiaan van der Spek ; translated by Paul Arblaster & Lee Preedy. "In 1667, the year of the Raid on the Medway, the Dutch Republic was at the pinnacle of its might and fame. A century and a half later little of this glory remained and Napoleon wiped the country off the political map. This book provides a military explanation for the 'miracle' of the seventeenth century and the demise that ensued. How were the army and navy in the Dutch Republic organised and financed? What tactics were employed and how did military leaders operate? Where did the Republic's troops come from and how was society involved? How did the tens of thousands of anonymous sailors and soldiers live, and how were they regarded by civilians?"-- [2021] • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 355.00949209/03
