A novelisation inspired by Hogarth’s paintings and Stravinsky & Auden’s libretto

Tom Rakewell is young, handsome, and newly rich—thanks to an unexpected inheritance. But fortune, like love, is fickle. Lured from the modest affections of Anne Trulove into a glittering world of vanity, vice, and illusion, Tom sets off on a headlong pursuit of pleasure. In gaming halls, brothels, and high society salons, he gambles not just money but his very soul.

Hogarth's engravings are included in the text, along with the verses for the engravings, written by John Hoadly.
