Abstract (en)

Analyzes the iconography of the painting Old Kaspar by William Mulready, ca.1805 (private collection); identifies the subject as a scene from Southey's poem, The Battle of Blenheim, and examines it in light of Godwin's libertarian philosophy, British history, and Whig antiwar sentiment.
