GEORGIANS: DEEDS/ MISDEEDS OF 18TH CENTURY BRITAIN (YALE) PB

A comprehensive history of the Georgians, comparing past views of these exciting, turbulent, and controversial times with our attitudes today. In this wide-ranging history, Penelope J. Corfield explores every aspect of Georgian life - politics and empire, culture and society, love and violence, religion and science, industry and towns. The book explores the elements of deep continuity that persisted even within major changes, and shows how new developments were challenged if their human consequences proved dire.
