[The Fool of Quality]. Mrs Vindex, meeting with Master Harry Clinton.
[The Fool of Quality]. Mrs Vindex, meeting with Master Harry Clinton.
[after P.W. Tomkins.]
Pub. 1795 by G.F. Cook.
Rare stipple, printed in sanguine. 280 x 215mm (11 x 8½"). Crease.
A scene from 'The Fool of Quality; or, The History of Henry, Earl of Moreland', written by the Irish writer Henry Brooke and published in five volumes 1765-70. Two ladies on a table drinking tea in background. It tells the story of Harry Clinton who, rejected by his decadent and aristocratic father, is educated on enlightened principles by his philanthropic uncle. Inspired by the Methodist movement, it was influential in its day: Charles Kingsley described it as 'more pure, sacred and eternal than anything since the Faerie Queene'. However to modern taste it is rambling and sentimental: Walter Allen, author of the important study 'The English Novel' (1954), called it 'one of the worst novels ever written, but a remarkable book'. A reversed copy of the plate engraved by Bartolozzi after Tomkins.
