A masterwork of British historical narrative, The Age of Elegance: 1812-1822 chronicles the triumphant decade following the Napoleonic Wars, capturing England at its most confident and resplendent. Arthur Bryant paints a vivid portrait of a nation riding high on the victory of Waterloo, detailing the glittering social world of Regency society alongside the stark realities of post-war economic hardship and political unrest. With the authority of a seasoned historian and the flair of a born storyteller, Bryant illustrates the tension between England's dazzling cultural achievements — the age of Keats, Byron, and Turner — and the turbulent forces of industrialisation and reform gathering beneath the surface. The result is a richly textured and authoritative account of one of the most fascinating and contradictory periods in English history, completing Bryant's celebrated trilogy on the Napoleonic era.
