Reminiscences of Captain Gronow

About this film

LibriVox recording of Reminiscences of Captain Gronow , by Captain Rees Howell Gronow. Read by Ruth Golding. A collection of memoirs about the Peninsular War, the Battle of Waterloo, and society and personalities of Regency London and 19th century Paris, by a sometime Grenadier Guards officer, unsuccessful parliamentarian, and dandy. Gronow displays some social attitudes of the day which would now be regarded as unacceptable, but is a clever raconteur who brings to life both the horrors of war and the gaiety of high society.
