The London Pleasure Gardens of the Eighteenth Century by Warwick William Wroth describes the celebrated resorts — Vauxhall, Ranelagh, and many lesser-known gardens — where Georgian Londoners gathered for music, fireworks, refreshment, and society. It gathers their histories, attractions, and the manners of their visitors.
The book vividly recreates a distinctive feature of eighteenth-century urban life and entertainment. It offers a richly detailed picture of leisure and sociability in early modern London.
