George III (Penguin Monarchs)

by Jeremy Black Book 39 in the Penguin Monarchs series.

Amazon

2.5(5)

Jeremy Black places George III within the crises of a sixty-year reign rather than reducing him to madness or the loss of America. The biography follows his efforts to restore active kingship, his relations with ministers and his response to imperial rebellion, domestic protest and political reform.

The American Revolution, wars with Revolutionary and Napoleonic France and repeated periods of illness tested both king and constitution. Black shows how duty, piety and family life shaped George’s conduct, while the regency crisis revealed the growing limits of personal monarchy.
