Corfield, professor emeritus of history at Royal Holloway, London University and president of the International Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies, to discuss her new book, “The Georgians: The Deeds and Misdeeds of 18th-Century Britain.” They discuss many aspects of Georgian life, including politics and empire, culture and society, love and violence, religion and science, and industry and towns. They also discuss the elements of deep continuity that persisted even within major changes in Georgian society.\r\n\r\nGet the book here:  https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300253573/the-georgians/\r\n\r\nShow Notes:\r\n\r\nFinancial Times: Ruth Scurr – “The Georgians — the age that shaped Britain, for good and bad”\r\nhttps://www.ft.com/content/5802c43c-5548-4a96-a527-b8b55dd16e95\r\n\r\nHistory Today: Penelope J.
