The Georgians:  How Eighteenth-Century Britain became a world hub for exploration, invention, literary creativity and contentious trade

St Mary's Church, Battersea

<p>A fascinating talk by historian and author Penelope J Corfield looking at all aspects of Georgian life.  The Georgian era is often seen as a time of innovations.  It saw the end of monarchical absolutism, global exploration and settlements overseas, the world’s first industrial revolution and deep transformations in religious and cultural life.  How were these changes perceived by people at the time? And how do their viewpoints compare with attitudes today?  The talk starts at 7pm</p>
