It was, however, 'not in somé strutting Brutiad' but in this modest picture of British commerce and industry, cities and villages, country seats and markét towns, in their growth and their decay, that the Augustan age produced 'not just a mirror of Britain . . . but a vision of nationhood'.
The cover, designed by Germano Facetti, shows a detail from 'The Polling' by William Hogarth, in the Sir John Soane Museum Vissza
