词汇 georgian
词源
Georgian. Anything to do with the reign of the British monarch George III (1738–1820), who was king for 60 years, from 1760 until his death. This would include Georgian poet- ry, Georgian architecture, Georgian literature, Georgian fur- niture, etc. George III was not a popular king and was more than a bit unbalanced (it was said that he “lost America and then lost his wits.”). Wrote Edmund Clerihew Bentley in a clerihew about the monarch: “George the Third / Ought never to have occurred / One can only wonder / At so gro- tesque a blunder.” See peacock.
