| Summary | "Social England under the Regency, Vol. 2 (of 2)" by John Ashton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into various social, political, and cultural aspects of England during the Regency period, focusing primarily on societal events, political turmoil, and significant figures of the time. The text provides an examination of riots, changes in government policy, economic distress, and notable occurrences such as the reception of Napoleon and the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo. At the start of this volume, the narrative discusses the intensity of social unrest due to the controversial Anti-Corn Bill and the consequent riots in London and the northern regions. Ashton vividly depicts the chaotic scenes as angry crowds expressed their discontent, leading to violent confrontations with the military. In these early passages, the author also alludes to the political landscape involving figures like the Prince of Wales and the tumultuous reactions following the ratification of the Treaty of Peace with America. This sets the stage for a broader exploration of the intertwining events that defined the era, revealing the complexities of life during the Regency period.
