All Things Georgian: Tales from the Long Eighteenth Century

By Joanne Major and Sarah Murden

Take a romp through the long eighteenth-century in this collection of 25 short tales.

Marvel at the Queen’s Ass, gaze at the celestial heavens through the eyes of the past and be amazed by the equestrian feats of the Norwich Nymph. Journey to the debauched French court at Versailles, travel to Covent Garden and take your seat in a box at the theatre and, afterwards, join the mile-high club in a new-fangled hot air balloon.

Meet actresses, whores and high-born ladies, politicians, inventors, royalty and criminals as we travel through the Georgian era in all its glorious and gruesome glory.

In roughly chronological order, covering the reign of the four Georges, 1714-1730 and set within the framework of the main events of the era, these tales are accompanied by over 100 stunning color illustrations.

SARAH MURDEN and JOANNE MAJOR are joint authors of this compelling biography, brought together through their shared passion for history and genealogy. Whilst carrying out research for a previous book they stumbled across Rachel Charlotte Williams Biggs. Looking more closely, they were quickly fascinated by this remarkable woman and realised that her story was one which had to be told.
