Brighton was a decayed seafaring town in 1740, but by 1780 it had been transformed into a prosperous seaside resort that attracted many famous people. When George, Prince of Wales made his first visit in 1783, Brighton was already a fashionable place to visit. By 1800, this resort was Britain's largest and most popular seaside watering place, remaining so well into the 20th century. Brighton emerged as a Georgian seaside resort during the key period of British resort development, between about 1730 and 1780. After 1780 Brighton had surpassed her competitors and had the full panoply of resort facilities. This charming book explores why resorts developed when they did - and why Brighton surged ahead. Between 1780 and 1820 the development of new suburbs to accommodate the influx of visitors was crucial. Without the ability to expand, Brighton would have failed to develop as a resort. From 1820, visitors' expectations changed, and the heyday of Georgian seaside resorts was at an end. This engaging narrative will interest Brighton's residents and visitors alike, and the splendidly reproduced images will evoke an era gone by for local historians everywhere.

A fascinating social history of the guitar, reasserting its long-forgotten importance in Romantic England This book is the first to explore the popularity and novelty of the guitar in Georgian England, noting its impact on the social, cultural, and musical history of the period. The instrument possessed an imagery as rich as its uses were varied; it emerged as a potent symbol of Romanticism and was incorporated into poetry, portraiture, and drama. In addition, British and Irish soldiers returning from war in Spain and Portugal brought with them knowledge of the Spanish guitar and its connotations of stylish masculinity. Christopher Page presents entirely new scholarship in order to place the guitar within a multifaceted context, drawing from recently digitized original source material. The Guitar in Georgian England champions an instrument whose importance in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries is often overlooked.

Brighton: that curious master of reinvention - whether it's considered 'London-by-the-Sea' or 'England's San Francisco', it's certainly a city with a reputation for being on the edge. Delve deep into the weird and wonderful history of 'Brighthelmstone', and find out how this dreary fishing village became a dazzling playground for the louche and wealthy: from the fashionable Regency period to the age of DJs, Brighton has always been home to the proudly quirky. But it's not all sun, sea and a fish supper! Be sure to avoid the sleazy world of gang fights and murders as portrayed in Graham Greene's 'Brighton Rock', whilst ducking to miss the bottles hurled between the mods and the rockers during the famous beach battles. Fully exploring the ups and downs of a seaside town, it's 'Brighton - A Very Peculiar History'...with a bit of Hove on the side.
