Philip Astley, Father of the Modern Circus

My latest post on my Jane Austen blog is on Philip Astley and his Amphitheatre, where thrilling equestrian performances were staged in the late 18th and 19th centuries. Astley's Amphitheatre is also the focus of my latest article, the cover story for the July issue of Jane Austen's Regency World.
