Journey back in time with Edward Ellis Morris as he vividly recounts the reigns of the first two Georges. From the moment King George I, at the age of fifty-four, ascended to the throne amidst the Highlanders rebellion in the Fifteen, to the financial turmoil caused by the collapse of the South Sea Company, Morris skillfully brings this tumultuous era to life. Enter the reign of George II, a short-tempered yet proud king, who relied on the wisdom of Queen Caroline. As the Turks besieged Vienna, Britain got entangled in the War of Jenkins Ear and the War of the Austrian Succession, while Bonnie Prince Charlie seized the opportunity to launch the almost successful Jacobite invasion of the Forty-five. Amidst the political turmoil, John Wesleys Methodism sparked religious fervor, Boswell chronicled the life of Samuel Johnson and his companions, and Tom Jones embarked on a remarkable journey that Henry Fielding masterfully used to present English society, in all its glory and flaws. Join us as we explore these fascinating times with Morris expert narration.Copyright Biographies and Memoirs アート 世界 政治・政府 政治学 文学史・文学批評
