Reviews

Travelling Man

reflecting the history of the time through the lens of contemporary satirists. A hugely entertaining and very impressively researched book.

Love the way current day idioms are sometimes used. The book itself is beautiful - love the colours and the cover design. The excitement of the era jumps off the page.

Witty, hilarious, fast moving, Loxton dives into historical detail with verve and vigour. Really enjoyed this fresh approach to eighteenth-century life in London. This makes it a great read for a wider audience (not just Georgian London history fans) - I would recommend to anyone looking for their next history / art history book! A wonderful debut - join the stampede, rush out and get a copy!

Brilliant. Alice Loxton is fabulous. Fun - fast paced - informative - fascinating.

So this book comes at things from a completely original angle. I bought one of the earlier signed copies of this, but upon reading it, needed another to give as a present to my mum I have ordered several as presents, am so pleased with how it looks and can’t wait to give it to all my friends! 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.

Highly recommend. .
