Tracing the settlement of domestic communities, he shows how archaeology enables us to reconstruct the evolution of habits, traditions and customs. But this, too, is Francis Pryor's own story: of his passion for unearthing our past, from Yorkshire to the west country, Lincolnshire to Wales, digging in freezing winters, arid summers, mud and hurricanes, through frustrated journeys and euphoric discoveries подробнее

William Collins Meet the Georgians. Epic Tales from Britain's Wildest Century Peal Robert
Anne Bonny and Mary Read, pirate queens of the Caribbean • Tipu Sultan, the Indian ruler who kept the British at bay • Olaudah Equiano, the former slave whose story shocked the world • Mary Wollstonecraft, the feminist who fought for women’s rights • Ladies of Llangollen, the lovers who built paradise in a Welsh valley • ‘Mad, bad and dangerous to know’ is how Lord Byron, the poet who drank wine from a monk’s skull and slept with his half-sister, was described by one of his many lovers. But ‘mad, bad and dangerous’ serves as a good description for the entire Georgian period: often neglected, the hundred or so years between the coronation of George I in 1714 and the death of George IV in 1830 were years when the modern world was formed, and changes came thick and fast

Но "безумный, плохой и опасный" служит хорошим описанием всего периода: часто игнорируемые сто или около того лет между коронацией Георга I в 1714 году и смертью Георга IV в 1830 году были годами,когда формировался современный мир, и перемены происходили стремительно
