What is Prince of pleasure : the Prince of Wales and the making of the Regency about?
Described As A Man Who Would Prefer A Girl And A Bottle To Politics And A Sermon, George Augustus Frederick (1762-1830), The Oldest Son Of King George Iii, Was A Pivotal And Highly Controversial Figure In England's Regency Period. Although His Scandalous Liaisons With Prostitutes And Duchesses, A Secret Marriage To His True Love - The Catholic Mrs. Fitzherbert - And A Publicly Ridiculed (bigamous) Marriage To Caroline Of Brunswick Threatened To Eclipse His Contributions To British History, Saul David's Engrossing Biography Prince Of Pleasure Shows A Man Of High Intelligence And Political Ambition. His Actions Reflected The Ambivalent Relationship Of The Monarchy To Parliament At A Time When The Nation Was Infected By Revolution Fervor In America And France. The Participation Of George Iv In Public Affairs Had Enduring Positive Influences. His Support For Overseas Campaigns Against Napoleon, Culminating In Such Historic Victories As Trafalgar And Waterloo, Consolidated Britain's Status As The Preeminent World Power Amid The Great Social And Economic Upheavals Of The Industrial Revolution. His Passion For The Arts Left England With Cultural Legacies Such As The Royal Pavilion In Brig
