Grandjouan, Kate (2012) Hogarth's Hidden Parts: Satiric Allusion, Erotic Wit, Blasphemous Bawdiness and Dark Humour in Eighteenth-Century English Art by Bernd W. Krysmanski (Book Review). Eighteenth Century Studies, 45 (2). pp. 335-336.
Abstract
A review of a book about William Hogarth which aims to turn the idea of the "good" Hogarth on its head. The author questions the artist's moralising agendas, his socially engaged and reformist identities, arguing instead that Hogarth was a "bawdy hedonist," a malicious blasphemer, possibly even a pedophile.
