Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "A Georgian Pageant" by Frank Frankfort Moore is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores notable individuals and events from the latter half of the 18th century, focusing on figures such as Oliver Goldsmith, Samuel Johnson, and Fanny Burney. The author seeks to challenge established views about these personalities and offers insights into their lives and societal impacts. At the start of the work, the author reflects on a conversation he had with Professor J. Churton Collins about the misconceptions surrounding historical figures, leading to an exploration of Miss Burney, who appears in a scene where she encounters King George III in Kew Gardens. The opening depicts her playful yet dignified demeanor while simultaneously illustrating her anxiety as the King, recently stricken by mental health challenges, seeks her out. The narration blends humor with a poignant acknowledgment of the historical context, setting the stage for a rich exploration of these remarkable Georgian characters and events.
