About this book

In an era marked by societal upheaval and artistic innovation, "The Harlot's Progress (1733), The Rake's Progress (Ms., ca. 1778-1780)" by Theophilus Cibber emerges as a poignant exploration of vice and virtue. Drawing inspiration from William Hogarth's striking engravings, this collection presents a grotesque pantomime and a morality ballad that vividly illustrate the perils of moral decay and the quest for redemption. With themes of temptation and consequence, Cibber's works resonate with students, civic activists, and historians alike, offering a critical lens on the human condition. Delve into the complexities of character and morality as you uncover the stark realities depicted in this remarkable document. Experience the dramatic tension that continues to echo through time.
