Title: Royal romances
Description: "Royal Romances: Sex, Scandal, and Monarchy in Print, 1780-1821 explores the reception of the royal family during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, its representation in fiction, poetry, and the popular press. Beginning with the adolescence of the Prince of Wales, the onset of King George's madness, and the first regency crisis, it includes the investigations of and legal proceedings against Princess Caroline and the coronation of George IV. The response to the royal family, registered in pamphlets and political engravings, fiction and poetry, reflects the public's belief in their right of access to the private life of royalty, and the right to understand and interpret it through representation"--
