Meet the Georgians by Robert Peal

The way Robert Peal describes Georgian England, youd be mad not to want to live there yourself GUARDIAN

‘The way Robert Peal describes Georgian England, you’d be mad not to want to live there yourself … He does make us think about the extraordinary breadth of experience on show in a period that tends to get written off in popular history … Peal has a sharp awareness of the best scholarly work on the subject and where to find it … An excellent entry point’
KATHRYN HUGHES, GUARDIAN

‘[A] lively portrait of 12 notable Georgians … This book will keep you awakeSteering clear of pompous, soporific vocabulary … There are some good life stories here, gutsily told’
DAILY MAIL

‘Peal brings the era to vivid, outrageous life, writing chattily, with a scattering of slang that wouldn’t have made the Georgians turn a hair’
CAMDEN NEW JOURNAL

‘This is a form of history book that I very, very much enjoy … A really good, fun, interesting read. It’s very accessible. It’s very irreverent and witty, laughing at the madness of the Georgian period … I would definitely recommend it’
BOOKS AND THINGS

‘I wish Robert Peal had been around when I did A-level history … I feel that Peal would have inspired me to achieve grade A stardom. The sheer energy and enthusiasm he brings to his subject is thrilling … Meet the Georgians uncovered in a wild and witty romp through the long 18th century’
JANE AUSTEN’S REGENCY WORLD

‘Really interesting … I learnt some interesting facts I didn't already know, and enjoyed the way the author told the stories of their lives. I would recommend, and hope the author considers writing more like this, but set in other eras also’
NETGALLEY REVIEWER, 5/5 STARS

‘A most enjoyable, witty and let's not forget educational read! I think this book can be a great way to attract teens to history. But it is definitely not only a read for teens … I would love to see this made into a series(patiently waiting for 'Meet the Victorians' to be made a reality)’
NETGALLEY REVIEWER, 4/5 STARS
