| Publisher Description: The Georgian Town, 1680-1840 explores the changing functions, character and experiences of British towns and their inhabitants in a period of vigorous activity in almost every sphere of urban life. This new synthesis reflects the quantity and quality of the exciting research into the urban world in the 'long eighteenth century' that has appeared in the last few decades. It provides an essential guide to new interpretations of the vitality and diversity of town life in this age of rapid and sometimes unsettling change. |
