The Regency Crisis shines a light British Resiliency during the Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. We end up in a situation where a spiritual testing of the king occurs in the most public way possible. And the vast majority of the British public responds with joy, also in a very public way. Everyone knows that everyone knows.
We explore the madness of George III, his recovery and the nation’s reactions. There are anecdotes followed by an analysis of 3 quantitative measures that tell us, that the British public was more concerned with and joyful of, the outcome of this illness, than of any other public event in a generation.
And the timing of it was almost too perfect. The spring of 1789 in Britain, just before the July 14 storming of the Bastille.
