🏞️ Historical Context

The Georgian era was marked by economic expansion, scientific progress, and the dawn of industrialisation. Britain became a global superpower through colonial expansion and the transatlantic trade, fuelling urban growth and cultural refinement. While the aristocracy hosted grand social events, the working class toiled in emerging factories. The Enlightenment championed reason over superstition, and romantic ideals slowly began reshaping marriage and social life.
