[WHITE, Charles] (1793-1861). Almack’s Revisited. 

“At that period of the year, when the western part of the metropolis again receives to its bosom the gay and eager votaries of fashion – when numerous well-packed and heavily-laden equipages may be seen in continual succession disgorging their contents in the vicinity of the squares – when hotel-keepers, who, during the dead season have been comparatively poor, and consequently proportionably civil, now commence the bustle of their business, and with it the extent of their extortion and impertinence”.  

8vo. London, Saunders and Otley, 1828. 

This three volume Georgian set is written in the vein of what has been termed as the Silver Fork Novel, depicting tales of the fashionable aristocracy and the lives of the upper classes. In Almack’s Revisited the setting revolves around Almack’s exclusive assembly rooms in London, with much gossip and scandal!
