British salons, with guests such as Byron, Moore, and Thackeray, were veritable hothouses of political and cultural agitation. Using a number of sources – diaries, letters, silver-fork novels, satires, travel writing, Keepsakes, and imaginary conversations – Schmid paints a vivid picture of the British salon between the 1780s and the 1840s.
