George III

by Edmund King, Jeremy Black

Book 38 in the English Monarchs series.

Buy the book from:

Jeremy Black presents George III as a conscientious and politically involved monarch whose long reign cannot be understood solely through the loss of the American colonies or the king’s illness. The biography examines his education, moral ideals, family life and determination to restore royal influence within Britain’s developing parliamentary system.

The American Revolution is placed within a wider story of imperial competition, ministerial change, war with France and domestic reform. Black also addresses patronage, science, agriculture and the recurring mental crises that eventually produced the Regency, offering a balanced portrait of both king and political institution.
