Books like Our Tempestuous Day by Carolly Erickson


Carol Erickson’s *Our Tempestuous Day* offers a richly detailed portrait of Regency England, spanning 1810 to 1820. It chronicles George III’s declared mental incapacity and the subsequent regency of his son, George IV, whose reign epitomized the era’s opulence and excess. The book examines the social life and customs of the aristocracy—drinking, dining, gambling—against the backdrop of a population grappling with poor living conditions and the economic strain of a century of warfare. Erickson’s narrative covers the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, the end of the Napoleonic Wars, and the ensuing volatility as returning soldiers faced unemployment and poverty. Drawing on solid research, the work presents a lively, informative essay that appeals to both newcomers and specialists in social history.
