The Age of Reason, Religion and Ridicule in the Library of the Revd David Hughes (c.1704-77)
Mon 11 March 2019 - Fri 22 March 2019
Queens' College Old Library
Focussing on the science and theology of Isaac Newton and his Cambridge followers, this exhibition traces the path to modernity forged in 18th-century Queens’ through the recently catalogued collection of Revd. David Hughes (Queens’ Fellow (1727-77) & Vice President). Assisted by astronomical, religious, and profane imagery in Hughes’s pamphlets and books, the exhibition juxtaposes the big questions of Man, Society and Creation as posed in 18th-Century Cambridge with their portrayal in scurrilous satire of the period.
