Rereading Hogarth and Pope
authenticity and academic fictions of the eighteenth century
James Ward
pp. 67-84
I might toil for years to produce an indifferent monograph […] It would be published obscurely — a run of fifty at best. But my colleagues […] would fall upon it like so many gourmands upon a Bologna sausage. For months to come, they’d gather in the evenings to divide a bottle of wine among eight of them, listen to one of their number perform upon the viol, and chew over my threadbare ruminations […] A year or so later, one of them would groan out a pamphlet in reply […] and the whole ridiculous performance begins again: the wine, the viol, the interminable talk.
