Georgian London

Travel back to the Georgian years, London's most formative age - the age of love, sex, intellect, art, great ambition and fantastic ruin. It was a time that changed expectations of what life could be. This book is about the Georgians who called London their home, from dukes and artists to rent boys and hot air balloonists meeting dog-nappers and life-models along the way. It investigates the legacies they left us in architecture and art, science and society, and shows the making of the capital millions know and love today.
