It saw the end of monarchical absolutism  global exploration and settlements overseas  the worlds first industrial revolution  deep transformations in religious and cultural life  and Britains role in the international trade in enslaved Africans. But how were these changes perceived by people at the time? And how do their viewpoints compare with attitudes today?  In this wide-ranging history  Penelope J. Corfield explores every aspect of Georgian lifepolitics and empire  culture and society  love and violence  religion and science  industry and towns. Peoples responses at the time were often divided. Pessimists saw loss and decline  while optimists saw improvements and light. Out of such tensions came the Georgian culture of both experiment and resistance. Corfield emphasizes those elements of deep continuity that persisted even within major changes  and shows how new developments were challenged if their human consequences proved dire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44947002622005,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300253575","price":37.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300253573.jpg?v=1769976974","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-georgians-the-deeds-and-misdeeds-of-18thcentury-britain","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
