Under the influence of the obese, loose-moraled Prince of Wales (to whom \u003cb\u003eJane Austen\u003c\/b\u003e dedicated \u003cb\u003eEmma\u003c\/b\u003e), the Regency was the apex of British decadence, an era of lavish parties and relentless bed-hopping that set a standard for elegance and vulgarity. With wit and lively style, \u003cb\u003eVenetia Murray\u003c\/b\u003e chronicles the scandals, courtships, and daily life of these aristocrats, and evokes the tempestuous times of the early industrial and French revolutions. Sumptuously illustrated with rare contemporary cartoons, prints, diaries, and caricatures, \u003cb\u003eAn Elegant Madness\u003c\/b\u003e is a book readers of social history and historical romance alike will devour.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Elegant Madness: High Society in Regency England | Venetia Murray | Paperback | 9780140282962 | Used: Like New | European History 1728756 (temp: 27)","offer_id":48847125741720,"sku":"1728756","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/816uLXVcPHL.jpg?v=1775426680","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/elegant-madness-high-society-in-regency-england","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
