Description
Discover Georgian London in all its complexity and vibrancy. Lucy Inglis takes you on a journey through the city's most formative age, exploring the lives of those who shaped its architecture, art, science, and society.
From the gilded drawing rooms of the aristocracy to the quiet avenues of the new middle class, and from the madhouses of Hackney to the workshops of Soho, this book reveals the diverse world of 18th-century London. You'll encounter a range of characters, including artists, rent boys, hot air balloonists, and life-models, who all contributed to the city's growth.
Through its pages, you'll gain insight into the legacies left by these individuals and how they continue to influence our capital today. With its engaging narrative and in-depth research, Georgian London: Into the Streets is a fascinating exploration of one of Britain's most fascinating periods.
