MEET THE GEORGIANS (PB)

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. Britain’s 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 book is an introduction to the Georgian era through the diverse lives of twelve magnificent (if not moral) people who defined it.
