520 Sense and sensation is a lavish exploration of the arts in
eighteenth-century London. Written and presented by the
eminent historian John Brewer, and drawn from his highly-
acclaimed book 'The Pleasures of the Imagination', the
film considers the world of commerce and celebrity in
which Georgian culture was created. A world, Brewer argues,
that has many parallels with today. John Brewer relates
the remarkable stories of entrepreneur Jonathan Tyers, who
oversaw the high art and low morals of Vauxhall Pleasure
Gardens, and of Anna Larpent, a voracious reader, gallery-
goer and theatre-lover. Actor-manager David Garrick and
literary giant Samuel Johnson are other key characters, as
is John Gay, the writer of the hugely popular 'The
Beggar's Opera'. Extensively illustrated with prints and
paintings of the period, the film also features artful
reconstructions in its analysis of the arts and their
audiences as English high culture first emerged.
