Descriere
Voices of the Georgian Age is the story of seventeen witnesses to the remarkably diverse Georgian century after 1720. While being very different in many ways, the voices have two things in common: they have an outstanding story to tell, and that story is available to all for free on the internet.
Despite the obvious constraints of surviving evidence, men and woman, rich and poor and respectable and criminal are all covered.
Some wrote out their life story with deliberation, knowing that it would be read in future, while others simply put their private thoughts to paper for their own benefit. All are witnesses to their age. This book guides you through their diaries, memoirs and travelogues, providing an entertaining insight in their lives, and a personal history of the period.
It is also a preparatory guide for those wishing to read the original documents themselves.
