Between 1714 and 1830, four Kings called George sat on the English throne. This awe-inspiringly comprehensive history of the country during this period from Penelope J. Corfield is exhaustive in the extent to which it dissects all almost all aspects. of 18th and early 19th century life. Topics covered include religious practice and tolerance, crime and punishment, the industrial revolution, the ongoing struggles of ancient aristocratic families to maintain their status, literacy levels, sexuality, the growing tendency to romanticise criminals such as highwaymen. and much, much more. Hugely impressive and a fascinating read.
