Voices of the Georgian Age Summary

Voices of the Georgian Age: 100 Remarkable Years, In Their Own Words by James Hobson

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.

About James Hobson

James Hobson has taught and written about history as a teacher for twenty-five years. His first book was Dark Days of Georgian Britain, a social history of the Regency period. His other interest is the civil war - studying this as his specialism under Professor John Morrill while at the University of Cambridge. In this new book he returns to his main passion, the eighteenth century and the Regency.
