Book Synopsis
One of the important British graphic artists of the nineteenth century, George Cruikshank (1792-1878) illustrated over 860 books, including several by Charles Dickens, and produced a number of etchings, paintings, and caricatures. This work shows how the insights of these seminal essays have been amplified by exhibitions and scholarship.

Trade Review
"[Cruikshank's] artistic roles and productiveness comprise a bewildering spectrum of style and subject that has hitherto defied critical summary... Professor Patten has collected essays that are acute, diverse, and stimulating in judgment, and which will surely spur on the continuing revaluation of Cruikshank that he hopes for."--Jonathan E. Hill, Victorian Studies
