Zusammenfassung:Hogarth's Britons' explores how the English painter and graphic satirist William Hogarth (1697-1764) set out to define British nationhood and identity at a time of division at home and conflict abroad. With notions of community cohesion, good citizenship and patriotism, wrapped up in a unifying idea of British national character and spirit in all its variety, and set alongside the ongoing national debate on Britain's past, present and future within European and World affairs, Hogarth and his art has never been more relevant.00In the summer of 1745, Prince Charles Edward Stuart ?Bonnie Prince Charlie? landed with his supporters, the ?Jacobites?, in a remote corner of Scotland. This signalled the start of his audacious military campaign, with the backing of Britain?s global adversary France and during a Europe-wide war, to topple the Hanoverian, Protestant monarch George II and restore the Catholic Stuarts, exiled in France and then Rome since 1688, to the throne. The country descended into turmoil, with regional, local and family loyalty for these rival royal dynasties severely tested, and opposing visions for the new nation of Great Britain ? since the Union of England and Scotland in 1707 ? laid bare. By early December the prince and his 6,000 troops arrived in Derby, just 120 miles and five days? march from London.
