Daily Life in Georgian England As Reported in the Gentleman's Magazine

By Emily Lorraine de Montluzin

This is a fully annotated scholarly anthology of selected excerpts from the Gentleman's Magazine concerning topics of crime, medicine, science and natural history, archaeology, religion, parliamentary reporting, the American Colonies, the French Revolution, riots and radicalism, and literary criticism. Established in 1731 and generally considered the first major magazine in England, it constitutes an enormous and scarcely tapped source for scholarly investigation of Hanoverian culture and society. After a general introduction, nine chapters contain annotated excerpts from the first 100 years of publication, arranged topically, chosen to cover the widest possible range of aspects of Georgian life.
