The Georgian dynasty ruled Britain between 1714 and 1837. This period witnessed significant social, economic and cultural transformation, including the first phase of the Industrial Revolution, electoral reform, the expansion of the British Empire, the loss of the 13 American colonies and wars with revolutionary France.
The Georgian Papers Programme aims to provide fresh insights into all of these events, and others, as well as giving researchers and the public access to the intimate lives and relationships of the Georgian monarchs – George I (r.1714–27), George II (r.1727–60), George III (r.1760–1820), George IV (r.1820–30) and William IV (r.1830–37) – and their spouses, children and courtiers.
