Stephen Leach is an Honorary Senior Fellow at Keele University, UK. Aside from art history, he also works in philosophy and archaeology. He is the author of The Foundations of History: Collingwood’s Analysis of Historical Explanation (2009) and A Russian Perspective on Theoretical Archaeology: The Life and Work of Leo S. Klejn (2015). He is co-editor (with James Tartaglia) of Consciousness and the Great Philosophers (2017) and The Meaning of Life and the Great Philosophers (2018). He has published several articles on Joseph Wright in The British Art Journal.
This book situates the work of the artist Joseph Wright of Derby (1734–1797) within the context of his life and times. It brings to light fresh information, including evidence of the flute music that Wright played and the ‘graveyard’ genre of poetry that he read. The book argues that Wright is the author of ‘The Final Farewell: a poem written on retiring from London’ (1787). It will be of interest to all admirers of this famously retiring artist.By the same author: The Adventures and Speculations of the Ingenious Peter Perez Burdett.
