《英国摄政时代旅行者指南》，2022年版[有声读物]

这是简·奥斯汀和浪漫主义诗人的时代；Beau Brummell的服装优雅和拜伦勋爵的诗意放纵；英国在特拉法加和滑铁卢的军事胜利；革命的威胁和彼得卢大屠杀。在伊恩·莫蒂默（Ian Mortimer）著名的《时间旅行者指南》系列的最新一卷中，他谈到了英国历史上最受欢迎的时期——摄政时期，或称格鲁吉亚时期的英格兰。这是一个繁荣、刺激、虚饰和肆无忌惮的不良行为的时代，在令人窒息的维多利亚道德世界到来之前，这也许是最后一个真正自由的时代。与此同时，这是一个转型期，反映了前所未有的社会、经济和政治变革。
和历史上的所有时期一样，这是一个充满矛盾的时代，贝多芬轰轰烈烈的第五交响曲可以在同一年首演，简·奥斯汀创造了说服的微妙敏感性。伊恩·莫蒂默再一次带我们踏上了一段激动人心的往事之旅，揭示了人们吃什么、喝什么、穿什么；他们在哪里购物，如何自娱自乐；他们相信什么，害怕什么。传达摄政时期的景象、声音和气味，这是历史上最激动人心、最真实、最发自肺腑的过去。过去不是要研究的东西，而是活生生的经历。
The Time Traveler’s Guide to Regency Britain, 2022 Edition [Audiobook]
This is the age of Jane Austen and the Romantic poets; the sartorial elegance of Beau Brummell and the poetic license of Lord Byron; Britain’s military triumphs at Trafalgar and Waterloo; the threat of revolution and the Peterloo massacre. In the latest volume of his celebrated series of Time Traveler’s Guides, Ian Mortimer turns to what is arguably the most-loved period in British history—the Regency, or Georgian England. A time of exuberance, thrills, frills, and unchecked bad behavior, it was perhaps the last age of true freedom before the arrival of the stifling world of Victorian morality. At the same time, it was a period of transition that reflected unprecedented social, economic, and political change.
And like all periods in history, it was an age of many contradictions—where Beethoven’s thundering Fifth Symphony could premier in the same year that saw Jane Austen craft the delicate sensitivities of Persuasion. Once more, Ian Mortimer takes us on a thrilling journey to the past, revealing what people ate, drank, and wore; where they shopped and how they amused themselves; what they believed in and what they were afraid of. Conveying the sights, sounds, and smells of the Regency period, this is history at its most exciting, physical, visceral—the past not as something to be studied, but as lived experience.
