The Enlightenment, Britain's cultural renaissance in the 18th century, is discussed in this analysis of Georgian society. The author presents a picture of society where life was nasty, often brutish and invariably short, but against which Britain saw the establishment of a huge overseas empire and the beginning of the first industrial revolution in the world.
