The Masquerade A History of Extravagance and Intrigue [#1031604]

The Masquerade
by Meghan Kobza
English | 2026 | ISBN: 0300276214 | 368 pages | True EPUB | 15.56 MB
The first full history of an extraordinary eighteenth-century British entertainment
Glittering masquerades, held at the most fashionable London venues, dominated the calendars of the Georgian elite. A thrilling opportunity to gather, flirt, and consume, hosts such as "Empress of Pleasure" Teresa Cornelys welcomed the great and the good in elaborate costumes-including bear suits, harlequin outfits, or, in the case of Elizabeth Chudleigh, very little at all. The masquerade was a place of make-believe and revelry, and a party like no other.
Meghan Kobza invites us into these dazzling gatherings, and shows how they became a wider cultural obsession. Organised by wealthy impresarios, the masquerade allowed the aristocracy to flaunt their status and enjoy themselves behind the closed doors of opulent ballrooms, theatres, and gardens, dressed by an industry of ever more inventive habit makers. For the rest of society, the masquerade was notorious for mischief and misbehaviour, and a focus for voracious gossip.
Lavishly illustrated, full of life and originality, The Masquerade is a revelatory account of an event which captivates us to this day.
