Bentley, Richard (1662–1742), made his reputation as a scholar with his
Letter to Mill (1691), a critical letter in Latin on the Greek dramatists. He delivered in 1692 the first
Boyle lectures, printed in 1693 as
The Folly and Unreasonableness of Atheism. He became keeper of the king's libraries in 1694, and during 1697–9 was engaged in the famous Phalaris controversy, during which he proved the
Epistles of Phalaris to be spurious (see
Battle of the Books) and queried the antiquity of
Aesop's fables. In 1699 he was appointed master of Trinity College, Cambridge. Among his greatest critical works were his bold revisions of the texts of
Horace and Manilius; he was the last great classical scholar before the divergence of Greek and Latin studies. He was caricatured in
The Dunciad (IV. 201 ff.) and elsewhere.

Art and food have always been closely entwined. Food is to the stomach, what good art is to the soul. The raw ingredients, the passion, the grand design; both provide finished products that are ultimately a matter of texture and taste.
