Select Bibliography The bibliography is divided into two parts: a schedule of selected readings for those who wish to explore the background of developments described in the book – both as a whole and chapter by chapter – followed by a much longer list that is intended to function as an introductory guide to research in the field of British two-dimensional art between the Restoration and the Battle of Waterloo. To facilitate usage of the more comprehensive bibliography, its materials have been organized under the following headings:
general texts: history (social and cultural) and the history of art the london art world: institutions, exhibitions and the art market artists and patrons on the continent art in the english regions, ireland, scotland and wales art theory contemporary art criticism and writing on the arts (including artists’ lives) thematics: consumption and politeness thematics: gender and sensibility thematics: empire and race media: drawings, watercolours and pastels media: miniatures media: prints and print culture media: prints and print culture ii: graphic satire genres: history-painting genres: portraiture genres: landscape and marine painting genres: sporting art genres: everyday life and still-life artists, patrons and other players (listed alphabetically by name)

1 restoration and representation Many texts appear in more than one place – though if the focus is exclusively on a single artist, patron or artworld player, then as a rule a book or article will feature under the name of the individual in question, and only occasionally elsewhere. Collections catalogues are listed under ‘General Texts’. Included in the bibliography are a small number of websites, some devoted to individual artists (e.g. William Blake, J. M. W. Turner), others to collections (The British Museum and the Yale Center for British Art) or to research resources (The Art World in Britain 1660–1735); all URLs were active at the time of going to press. For basic information about biographies and institutional histories, readers should consult the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and Oxford Art Online (which incorporates Grove Art Online).
