The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture, architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic operas, and more are also included. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Farquhar (1678-1707) was a dramatist who began his professional career as an actor, but was advised to give up the stage in consequence of accidentally wounding a fellow thespian. He was advised by Robert Wilkes to write a comedy, and produced 'Love and a Bottle' (1699), followed by 'The Constant Couple' (1700), 'Sir Harry Wildair' (1701) and 'The Beaux Strategem' (1707), amongst others (for more on Farquhar, see the DNB and the Cambridge History of English and American Literature, vol. VIII, chapter VI).
