Description

The Whig World 1760-1837 by Leslie Mitchell is an in-depth exploration of one of England's most influential and exclusive political parties. This portrait delves beyond politics to reveal the lives, tastes, and intellect of its members, who were renowned for their cosmopolitan outlook, wit, and sophistication. From Charles James Fox to Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, and Lord Byron, the Whig World was a world of brilliant conversationalists and controversialists. This book offers a nuanced understanding of an extraordinary group whose power, taste, and intellect dominated the centre of 18th-century England. With its focus on the personal lives and experiences of those who shaped the country's history, The Whig World 1760-1837 provides a unique insight into a pivotal period in English politics.
