About This Book

A survey of social conditions and public life during the Regency years, tracing how military defeat and victory, the exile of a major European leader, and domestic political tensions provoked popular rejoicings, riots, and reformist agitation. It chronicles urban change—lighting, clubs, hotels, new coinage—and examines crime, legal curiosities, smuggling, and depredations on the vulnerable, alongside royal scandals, marriages, and courtly extravagance. Episodes in the navy, public ceremonies, and press responses illuminate popular attitudes, while local disturbances, economic distress, and official measures reveal the era's social anxieties and everyday customs.
