Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the vibrant world of English horse racing during the latter half of the 18th century, a period marked by both social upheaval and unprecedented extravagance. The author examines the lives of key figures who shaped the sport and its culture, from aristocratic patrons like the Duke of Queensberry and the Earl of March to the charismatic Charles James Fox, whose love of racing was almost as legendary as his political career. The book explores the high-stakes gambling that permeated every aspect of English society, from political appointments to the outcome of races, a phenomenon that was considered commonplace yet would be seen as shocking today. The author sheds light on the fascinating personalities who populated the Turf, their passionate rivalries, and the social milieu that made this era a unique and intoxicating time to be a part of English high society. Through vivid portraits of individuals, the book offers a unique lens into the social mores and values of the time, highlighting the dominance of aristocracy and the complex interplay of politics, passion, and pleasure. The book offers a captivating glimpse into a bygone era, revealing the enduring allure of horse racing and the enduring power of human ambition and vice. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
