First published in 1931, Georgian England offers an entertaining
and informative overview of the period from 1700 to 1820. The
celebrated architect and historian Albert Edward Richardson had a
particular enthusiasm for Georgian times, and in this volume he
authoritatively depicts an era noted for its social life and
culture, its literary, artistic, architectural and scientific
achievements and for the growth of industry. Many facets of English
society are covered, including the church and military; sports and
pastimes; building and interior design and notable Georgian plays
and music. Illustrated throughout with contemporary engravings and
art, Georgian England captures a time of contrasts: an era of both
great achievement and shameful poverty, of enlightenment and
brutality, where decadence existed alongside exuberant progress.
