The Georgian Saga by Eleanor Burford Hibbert, writing as Jean Plaidy, covers more than a century of British royal history through the Hanoverian period. The series opens with The Princess of Celle, about Sophia Dorothea and her disastrous marriage to the future George I, and Queen in Waiting, about the ambitious Caroline of Ansbach. Caroline later becomes the focus of Caroline, the Queen, which shows her partnership with Prime Minister Robert Walpole.
The middle books follow the reign of George III, his struggles with mental illness, and the personal lives of his large family. Perdita’s Prince and Sweet Lass of Richmond Hill explore the romantic entanglements of the Prince of Wales (later George IV), while The Regent’s Daughter and Victoria in the Wings bring the saga to the doorstep of the Victorian era.
Plaidy wrote the entire eleven-book series in just five years, between 1967 and 1972, and the result is a detailed portrait of a dynasty that transformed from German-speaking outsiders into the British royal family. The series connects naturally with the Queen Victoria series, which picks up where the Georgian Saga leaves off, and with the Stuart Saga, which covers the period immediately before the Hanoverians took the throne.
