Book Synopsis Hogarth's Harlot by : Ronald Paulson
Book excerpt: In 1732, a blasphemous burlesque of the Christian Atonement was published in England without comment from the government or Church of England. The author explains this absence of censure through a detailed examination of the parameters of blasphemy in 18th century England.
