He considers such works by selected artists as a group, discussing significant similarities and differences among various artists' treatments of their subject, and offering a hypothesis of why apocalyptic art flourished in Britain for a period of about a century. - The sublime in British art -- Benjamin West -- Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg -- William Blake -- J. M. W. Turner -- John Martin - Samuel Colman and Francis Danby -- The apocalyptic grotesque -- Edward Francis Burney -- Versions of Belshazzar's Feast by John Martin
