"A Georgian Pageant" by Frank Frankfort Moore is an early 20th-century historical exploration that examines prominent people and happenings from the late 1700s, including Oliver Goldsmith, Samuel Johnson, and Fanny Burney, through the lens of challenging accepted beliefs about their lives and influence. Starting with the author's reflection on a discussion concerning misinterpretations of historical figures, the story introduces Miss Burney in an encounter with King George III in Kew Gardens, painting a picture of her balancing playful grace with worry as she interacts with a King struggling with mental instability, blending humor with an understanding of the historical setting that prepares the reader for an insightful look at significant figures and moments from the Georgian era.
