Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This engrossing biography of George IV, king of England from 1820 to 1830, gives a full and objective reassessment of the monarchs character, reputation, and achievement. Previous writers have tended to accept the unfavorable verdicts of the kings contemporaries that he was a dissolute, pleasure-loving dilettante and a feeble and ineffective ruler who was responsible for the decline of the power and reputation of the monarchy in the early nineteenth century. Now E.A. Smith offers a new view of George IV, one that does not minimize the kings faults but focuses on the positive qualities of his achievement in politics and in the patronage of the arts. Smith explores the roots of the kings character and personality, stressing the importance of his relationship with his parents and twelve surviving siblings. He examines the kings important contributions to the cultural enhancement of his capital and his encouragement of the major artistic, literary, and scholarly figures of his time. He reassesses the kings role as constitutional monarch, contending that it was he, rather than Victoria and Albert, who created the constitutional monarchy of nineteenth-century Britain and began the revival of its popularity. Smiths biography not only illuminates the character of one of the most colorful of Britains rulers but also contributes to the history of the British monarchy and its role in the nations life. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
