About this book

Reference BookThis book is a must-have for anyone who enjoys or wants to understand the Regency period from 1811-1820. It is a reference book that not only characterizes the lifestyles of many famous people that lived back then but also covers language, fashion, the reasons for marriage and more. History students and authors of historical romances are other people who will find it interesting. Published in 1989, you will probably have the best luck finding it at your local library. If found, the copies that people are willing to sell are listed for ridiculous prices. I have read quite a few romances from this era and, honestly, I developed a bitter taste for this group of people who expected to be served everything without question. Boredom occurred so both sexes turned to self-gratification and not with the most pleasant results. Still, I found it an education and a necessary book with a wealth of knowledge. Kudos to the two authors for their excellent research in it putting together. And yes, I will still read romances from this time hoping to find true love among the aristocrats. ...
