<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A radical reassessment of King George III by the lively and prolific pen of a master.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In <i>George III: A Personal History, </i> British historian Christopher Hibbert reassesses the royal monarch George III (1738-1820). Rather than reaffirm George III's reputation as Mad King George, Hibbert portrays him as not only a competent ruler during most of his reign, but also as a patron of the arts and sciences, as a man of wit and intelligence, indeed, as a man who greatly enhanced the reputation of the British monarchy until he was finally stricken by a rare hereditary disease. Teeming with court machinations, sexual intrigues, and familial conflicts, George III opens a window on the tumultuous, rambunctious, revolutionary eighteenth century. It is sure to alter our understanding of this fascinating, complex, and very human king who so strongly shaped England's and America's destiny<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Christopher Hibbert</b> has written many well-received biographies, including, most recently, <i>Queen Victoria</i>. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and an Honorary Doctor of Letters of Leicester University.
