About the book

The Creevey Papers draws on the lively correspondence and journals of Thomas Creevey, an English politician and social observer who moved among some of the most important political and aristocratic circles of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Creevey recorded conversations, scandals, political developments and personal impressions with considerable wit and frankness. His writings provide an entertaining and valuable firsthand portrait of Regency society, revealing the personalities and private behaviour behind public political life.
