UPROAR!: Satire, Scandal and Printmakers in Georgian London

Product Information

Did you know Napoleon was slightly above average height for his time period? So why do we think of him as short? Because brilliant satirist James Gillray portrayed him as a toddler having a tantrum and the image became so pervasive in Georgian a England that the image is still with us today.

Stomp around this Jurassic adventure with the lights on full and the music and sound effects all turned down low.Vivid, pacey and endlessly engaging, this brilliant debut brings the late Georgian period dazzlingly to life. Irresistible stuff -- Tracy Borman, author of CROWN AND SCEPTRE

I would have liked the prints selected for this book to have been a bit larger (and, ideally, in colour, though I do understand this would likely have made an already-pricey book even more expensive to print), so I could read the speech bubbles and properly take in the details. I also personally wasn’t a fan of the fabricated dialogue and the numerous heavy-handed comparative references to modern pop culture for humorous effect didn’t really work for me either, but that’s just a matter of personal taste rather than quality.Alice Loxton's analysis of Georgian England is razor sharp, witty and engaging. An appropriately "laugh out loud" history of the age of satire -- Helen Carr, author of THE RED PRINCE Or if you have an even bigger appetite for adventure, book your table at the Evolution Experience Restaurant; located next door to Uproar!
