This week I've mainly been reading, no. 105.

Its no surprise John Barrell's The dark side of landscape (1980) is regarded as a classic. In this discussion of Gainsborouh, Morland & Constable's depiction of the rural poor, Barrell produces a fascinating class analysis of painting in C18th/C19th. He also suggests Morland's relatively low reputation is partly the result of the sentimentalisation of is work by contemporary engravers, another interesting issue
