Book Synopsis A Mad, Bad, and Dangerous People? by : Boyd Hilton

Book excerpt: In a period scarred by apprehensions of revolution, war, invasion, poverty and disease, elite members of society lived in fear of revolt. Boyd Hilton examines the changes in society between 1783-1846 and the transformations from raffish and rakish behaviour to the new norms of Victorian respectability.
