A Harlot's Progress

on BBC Radio 4 FM

1/5. Moll Arrives in London. A week of rollicking comedy brings to life the stories revealed - and concealed - in William Hogarth 's famous sequence of engravings. In 1732, a young and undistinguished painter sets out to paint the tale of a country girl's downfall on the streets of London. It's a story that will lead him and his heroine, Moll Hackabout , to very different ends. By Jonathan Myerson.
