In 1820, George IV's "royal gambols" with his mistresses endangered the Old Oak of the constitution. When he tried to divorce Queen Caroline for adultery, the resulting scandal enabled activists to overcome state censorship and revitalize reform. Looking at six major British scandals between 1763 and 1820, this book demonstrates that scandals brought people into politics because they evoked familiar stories of sex and betrayal. In vibrant prose woven with character sketches and illustrations, Anna Clark explains that activists used these stories to illustrate constitutional issues concerning the Crown, Parliament, and public opinion."--Jacket. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (ebrary, viewed November 9, 2013). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 18th century|2fast 648 7 19th century|2fast 648 7 1700 - 1899|2fast 650 0 Sex|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85120549 |xPolitical aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00005651|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79023147-781|xHistory|y18th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006124 650 0 Sex|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85120549 |xPolitical aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00005651|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79023147-781|xHistory|y19th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006167 650 0 Political corruption|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010106984|xHistory|y18th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006124 650 0 Political corruption|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010106984|xHistory|y19th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006167 650 0 Scandals|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh88002668|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79023147-781|xHistory|y18th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006124 650 0 Scandals|zGreat Britain|xHistory|y19th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010111971 650 7 Sex|xPolitical aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1114181 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Sex.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1114160 650 7 Political corruption.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1069240 650 7 Scandals.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1106361 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1919741 651 0 Great Britain|xPolitics and government|y18th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85056900 651 0 Great Britain|xPolitics and government|y19th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85056911 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aClark, Anna.|tScandal|z069111501X|w(DLC) 2003043349|w(OCoLC)51607318 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=647163|zOnline eBook.
