Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The way Robert Peal describes Georgian England, youd be mad not to want to live there yourself GUARDIAN Anne Bonny and Mary Read, pirate queens of the CaribbeanTipu Sultan, the Indian ruler who kept the British at bayOlaudah Equiano, the former slave whose story shocked the worldMary Wollstonecraft, the feminist who fought for womens rightsLadies of Llangollen, the lovers who built paradise in a Welsh valleyMad, bad and dangerous to know is how Lord Byron, the poet who drank wine from a monks skull and slept with his half-sister, was described by one of his many lovers. But mad, bad and dangerous serves as a good description for the entire Georgian period: often neglected, the hundred or so years between the coronation of George I in 1714 and the death of George IV in 1830 were years when the modern world was formed, and changes came thick and fast.Across this century, new foods pineapples, coffee and pepper suddenly became available in the shops. Fashion exploded into a riot of colour, frilly shirts and wigs. Gin was drunk like it was water. Demands for womens rights were heard, and it became possible to question the existence of God without fear of prompt execution.These exciting new developments came, of course, from the expanding British Empire. Britains wealth and its sudden access to chocolate, chillies and spices, was entirely bound up with the conquest of overseas territories and the miserable suffering of enslaved workers.This is the backdrop to Robert Peals new book, which introduces the Georgian era through the diverse lives of twelve magnificent if not moral people who defined it. The way Robert Peal describes Georgian England, youd be mad not to want to live there yourself GUARDIAN Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
