Talk by J. H. Plumb
In recent years professional historians have given much attention to a reassessment of George III 's character and achievement. The Ford Lectures by Professor Richard Pares on ' King George III and the Politicians, from which the title of this talk is a quotation, are only one of a number of recently published studies of the relations between the Crown and the parties during his reign. Dr. J. H. Plumb , Fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge, considers how the traditional figure of George III has survived this dote scrutiny.
