Mid-Georgian Britain by Jacqueline Riding
Mid-Georgian Britain was a period of elegance and desperation. As the middle and upper classes enjoyed their wealth with various consumer goods, the poor endured debtor's prison and an increasing number of crimes with the death penalty. This title looks at the importance of London as a capital city where the rich and poor rubbed shoulders.
