Copied Fame and Fortune
Fame and Fortune
This multi-disciplinary essay collection explores the controversial life and achievements of Sir John Hill (17141775), a prolific contributor to Georgian Englands literature, medicine and science. By the time he died, he had been knighted by the Swedish monarch and become a household name among scientists and writers throughout Britain and Europe. In 1750s London he was a celebrity, but he was also widely vilified. Hill, an important writer of urban space, also helped define London through his periodicals and fictions. As well as examining his significance and achievements, this book makes Hill a means of exploring the lively intellectual and public world of London in the 1750s where rivalries abounded, and where clubs, societies, coffee-houses, theatres and pleasure gardens shaped fame and fortunes. By investigating one individuals intersections with his metropolis, Fame and Fortune restores Hill to view and contributes new understandings of the forms and functionsof eighteenth-century intellectual worlds.
