THIS epic series reaches the 18th century, an era of unpreceden­ted changes in culture and society. From the paintings of William Hogarth and the pottery of Josiah Wedgwood to the writings of Jonathan Swift and the poems of Robert Burns, it was a flourishin­g period for the arts — it was also a time when Britain became rich through the spoils of empire and slavery.
