This book examines the impact of French society on English culture
in the second half of the eighteenth century. In an age when many
historians suggest the inexorable rise of the middle classes was
being driven forward by industrialization, the English aristocracy
stood apart from the trend towards commercial respectability, and
revelled in all that was best in cosmopolitan fashion and ideas.
Welcoming the French Revolution as a re-enactment of 1688, they
watched aghast as their world descended into the Terror, and the
onslaught of Bonaparte.
