In this biography, Steven Parissien aims to present George IV against the cultural background of his age, showing how his behaviour affected the contemporary view of both the monarch and the monarchy, and how his energies and ambitions focused upon the artistic, architectural and social splendour with which many now associate him.

Recenzijas

' A well-informed and elegant assessment of George's impact on Regency times, especially its culture' -- Saul Dvid, Sunday Telegraph

Part 1 Introduction: the face of death; family and friends. Part 2
Governing passions: the amorous and inconstant sexagenarian; dress and
militaria; architectural patronage; connoisseur of fine art; conspicuous
consumption; political posturing; the ancien regime. Part 3 Family affairs:
separation and divorce; the immense girl. Part 4 Image of royalty: image and
reality; George and Napoleon; the masquerade of rooms; the coronation; the
visit to Edinburgh. Part 5 The image askew: the king as caricature; recluse.
