Description
Join historian, broadcaster and writer, Alice Loxton, as she delves into the delights of her new history book, UPROAR!: Satire, Scandal and Printmakers in Georgian London – a brilliant new history of Georgian Britain through the eyes of the artists who immortalised it. Set against a backdrop of royal madness, political intrigue, the birth of modern celebrity, French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, UPROAR! follows the satirists as they lampoon those in power, from George III and Napoleon, to the Prince Regent and Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. Family friendly and lots of fun!Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

A really enjoyable show. Alice is, as you would expect from someone with such credentials, an engaging and entertaining host, shedding light on a part of history that has gone undertold for so long.
Her campaign to Bring Back Gillray is surely one deserving of support across the land.
