A General Reading List

The two recent books I would most recommend to anyone faintly interested in understanding Monamy's place in the history of English painting, are The Discovery of Painting 1680-1768 by Iain Pears, 1988, and The Patriot Opposition to Walpole: 1725-1742 by Christine Gerrard, 1994. Neither mentions the painter, of course. Nor does Hogarth, whose personal Anecdotes, edited 1833, are also essential reading.

Aug, 2007: Another outstandingly relevant work, only recently come to hand, is The Ideological Origins of the British Empire, by David Armitage. Add also the writings of James Ayres.
