High Society by Venetia Murray
This social history of the Regency Period chronicles the manners, the morals and the attitudes of everyone from dandies to pugilists, duchesses to courtesans. Also, the art of caricature flourished during the Regency and this book contains examples from artists such as Gillray and Cruikshank.
Venetia Murray worked as a journalist, writing for many major periodicals and newspapers, and published three novels before concentrating on social history. Her previous works of non-fiction include Echoes of the East End and Castle Howard: The Life and Times of a Stately Home, a three hundred year history of the castle that was the setting for Brideshead Revisited. She lives in Wiltshire, England.
