Description

Kings and Desperate Men provides a vivid social chronicle of eighteenth-century England leading up to the French Revolution. Rather than focusing on political treaties and military campaigns, Kronenberger's work captures the lived experiences of both aristocrats and commoners across urban and rural settings. Discover how people actually lived through their family structures, social interactions, daily habits, dining practices, clothing styles, religious observance, and cultural pursuits. The book traces these social dimensions with particular attention to the stark contrasts between city life and country existence, revealing the texture of ordinary life in Georgian England. This engaging narrative history illuminates the manners, tastes, and social divisions that defined the period, offering readers an intimate window into how different classes experienced their world during this transformative era.

Key Features

Kings and Desperate Men examines eighteenth-century English life across both aristocratic and common social classes with equal attention to their daily realities.

The Routledge publication explores family life, social habits, diet, fashions, religion and artistic tastes as windows into period culture.

This social chronicle traces meaningful divisions between urban and rural existence in eighteenth-century England before the French Revolution.

Kronenberger's approach prioritises social and cultural history over political treaties and military narratives, offering a more personal historical perspective.
