The four Hanoverian King Georges may have become fixed in history
as 'faintly absurd, certainly unattractive, figures' but in this
colourful account of their lives and times, families and courts,
Christopher Sinclair-Stevenson restores a sprinkling of credit
where it has been due. His account does not neglect the marital
discords of George I, the towering paternal disdain of George II or
the tragically misunderstood 'madness' of George III. But the
reader is also encouraged to consider how the Hanoverian monarchs
reacted to the climate of art and fashion in their times, from
George II's espousal of Handel to George IV's patronage of Beau
Brummell. By its own admission not a comprehensive history, Blood
Royal is nevertheless an elegant and shining string of linked
vignettes and short studies.
