Dilettanti

The Antic and the Antique in Eighteenth-Century England

Bruce Redford
Though the word dilettante has come to be pejorative, the opposite of serious or professional, the original meaning was a positive one, coined by the foundation of the Society of Dilettanti in the 1730s. This well illustrated history of the society, which counted among its members Joshua Reynolds, Joseph Banks and David Garrick, examines its projects and publications and assesses its influence on the cultural ideals of the Enlightenment and beyond.
