Synopsis "English Society in the Eighteenth Century"

Porter's picture of eighteenth-century England is boldly drawn...he delineates a nation with a stable though flexible political order, a dynamic and developing economy, and a rich and expanding culture...He ranges far and wide, from princes to paupers and from the metropolis to the smallest hamlet. Stay-making and corsetry, prisons, rural festivals, diet and housing, bordellos and sex therapists, domestic gadgets like the toothbrush, industrial processes such as iron puddling, ballads and pamphlets, paintings and plays, work and wages, balloons and bastardy are only a fraction of the topics covered by this breathtaking narrative...No one will fail to learn much from Porter's bustling book...a remarkable achievement.
