UPROAR!: Satire, Scandal and Printmakers in Georgian London

Reviews

Mr C A Thorpe

Fun - fast paced - informative - fascinating. Great to bring the stars of the show – James Gillray, Thomas Rowlandson, Isaac Cruikshank and the splendid Hannah Humphrey – back into the limelight where they belong. A hugely entertaining and very impressively researched book.

A wonderful debut - join the stampede, rush out and get a copy! I bought one of the earlier signed copies of this, but upon reading it, needed another to give as a present to my mum The author has a strong descriptive style - she packs in historical details, jokes and interesting parallels with the present day - all of which paint a vivid picture of Gillray and his artist friends. Really enjoyed this fresh approach to eighteenth-century life in London.

Love the way current day idioms are sometimes used. I have ordered several as presents, am so pleased with how it looks and can’t wait to give it to all my friends!

Highly recommend. Brilliant. Witty, hilarious, fast moving, Loxton dives into historical detail with verve and vigour. So this book comes at things from a completely original angle.
