| 喬治四世平生紙醉金迷，在位期間引領英國上流社會時尚潮流，並熱衷支持新興休閒、潮流與品味。即便毀譽參半抑或跌跌撞撞，仍帶領英國走過輝煌的攝政時期。作者史蒂文．派瑞森以文化為切入點，帶領讀者重回風起雲湧的攝政年代，剖析其時其事，以及喬治四世執政對國內外藝術、文化、建築以及社會所產生的諸多重大影響，甚至延續至今日。 Already a byword for taste and extravagance by the time he became Prince Regent in 1811, George IV remains as vivid and notorious a figure today as he was in his own time. He bequeathed to his nation a glittering legacy of stunning, eclectic, and often eccentric houses and collections, and also provided the monarchs who followed him with an object lesson in how - and, more significantly, how not - to conduct oneself. In many ways a strikingly modern sovereign, he attempted to manipulate his public image to divert attention from the less savory aspects of his private life. His ultimate mistake was actually to believe in the image he had manufactured rather than in the depressing reality. Steven Parissien brings us George IV against the cultural background of his age, showing how his behavior affected the contemporary view of both the monarch and the monarchy, and how his energies and ambitions focused upon the artistic, architectural, and social splendor with which we now associate him. |
