A brilliant new history of Georgian Britain
through the eyes of the artists who
immortalized it, by one of the UK's most exciting
young historians'Alice Loxton is the star of
her generation ... the next big thing in
history' DAN SNOW, author, Listening to
Stone'Vivid, pacey and endlessly engaging, this
brilliant debut brings the late Georgian period
dazzlingly to life. Irresistible stuff' TRACY
BORMAN, author, Crown ampSceptre London, 1772 a
young artist called Thomas Rowlandson is making
his way through the grimy backstreets of the
capital, on his way to begin his studies at the
Royal Academy Schools. Within a few years, James
Gillray and Isaac Cruikshank would join him in
Piccadilly, turning satire into an artform,
taking on the British establishment, and forever
changing the way we view power. Set against a
backdrop of royal madness, political intrigue,
the birth of modern celebrity, French
revolution, American independence and the
Napoleonic Wars, UPROAR! follows the satirists
as they lampoon those in power, from the Prince
Regent to Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire.
Their prints and illustrations deconstruct the
political and social landscape with surreal and
razor-sharp wit, as the three men vie with each
other to create the most iconic images of the
day. Alice Loxton's writing fizzes with energy on
every page, and never fails to convince us that
Gillray and his gang profoundly altered British
humor, setting the stage for everything from
Gilbert and Sullivan to Private Eye and Spitting
Image today. This is a book that will cause
readers to reappraise everything they think they
know about genteel Georgian London, and see it
for what it was - a time of UPROAR!
