"English Lands, Letters and Kings, vol. 3: Queen Anne and the Georges" by Donald G. Mitchell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume explores the transition of English literature and society during the reign of Queen Anne and the subsequent Georges, focusing on significant literary figures and social changes of the period. Mitchell delves into the lives and works of influential authors and thinkers who shaped this era. At the start of the narrative, the reader is transported to the early 18th century in England, a time marked by political and social upheaval across Europe. The text opens with a lively depiction of the period, highlighting cultural contrasts—from Queen Anne's court intrigues to the bustling streets of London filled with vendors and curious visitors. The author introduces notable historical and literary figures such as George Berkeley and Lady Wortley Montagu, whose contributions and experiences intertwine with the broader themes of morality, politics, and personal relationships, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the literary evolution that accompanies the rise of the Georges.
