In these enlightening talks, he paints a vivid picture of British life from 1750 to 1850. Journey alongside John Wesley as he traverses thousands of miles of picturesque English countryside on horseback. Meet the sharp-witted rural poet George Crabbe, who transitioned from being a surgeon apothecary to a parish rector, offering house calls to his community. Foakes-Jackson introduces a colorful cast of characters, including a female convict, various dons from Cambridge University, and the flamboyant figures of Regency society, not to mention the rich, bustling life depicted in the works of Dickens and Thackeray.
