The Victorians are often credited with ushering in our current era,
yet the seeds of change were planted during the earlier Regency
period (1811-1820) when the profligate Prince of Wales-the future
king George IV-succeeded his father. Around the Prince Regent
surged a society of contrasts: evangelicalism and hedonism,
elegance and brutality, exuberance and despair. Capturing the
Napoleonic Wars, the rise of artists-the Shelleys, Austen, Keats,
Byron, Turner-scientists and inventors-Stevenson, Davy, Faraday-and
a cast of dissident journalists, military leaders, and
fashionistas, Robert Morrison captivatingly illuminates the ways
this period shaped the modern world.
