The Regency Years: During Which Jane Austen Writes, Napoleon Fights, Byron Makes Love, and Britain Becomes ModernThe Victorians are often credited with ushering in our current era, yet the seeds of change were planted in the years before.

The Victorians are often credited with ushering in our current era, yet the seeds of change were planted in the years before. The Regency (1811-1820) began when the profligate Prince of Wales--the future king George IV--replaced his insane father, George III, as Britain's ruler.

Around the regent surged a society steeped in contrasts: evangelicalism and hedonism, elegance and brutality, exuberance and despair. The arts flourished at this time with a showcase of extraordinary writers and painters such as Jane Austen, Lord Byron, the Shelleys, John Constable, and J. M. W. Turner. Science burgeoned during this decade, too, giving us the steam locomotive and the blueprint for the modern computer.

Yet the dark side of the era was visible in poverty, slavery, pornography, opium, and the gothic imaginings that birthed the novel Frankenstein. With the British military in foreign lands, fighting the Napoleonic Wars in Europe and the War of 1812 in the United States, the desire for empire and an expanding colonial enterprise gained unstoppable momentum. Exploring these crosscurrents, Robert Morrison illuminates the profound ways this period shaped and indelibly marked the modern world.

Does what I needed it to do
Size: 50mm/2inch, Color: Black, Number of Items: 4
Worked perfectly for routing all my wires for my desk. The included tie straps were an added bonus. Now everything is nice, tidy and secured to the back side of my rolling desk.

Great to clean up the cable clutter
Size: 50mm/2inch, Color: Black, Number of Items: 4
I finally got around to cleaning up the cable disaster on my home office desk and these grommets were exactly what I needed. They fit perfectly into the 2-inch holes I drilled, and the plastic feels surprisingly sturdy, not like that cheap, brittle stuff that snaps the moment you try to pop the cover back on. The little brush-like opening is a nice touch because it keeps the cords from sliding back down when they aren't plugged in, and the black finish looks really clean against my wood tabletop. For a 4-pack, the price was a total steal, and it honestly makes the whole setup look way more professional than just having raw holes in the desk. If humans are looking for a quick and cheap way to hide cord clutter, these are a solid bet.
