	Regency Fashion History 1800-1825
		Because of the influence of the Georgian Prince Regent on the era, it is known as the Regency.
		Regency dress in the period 1800-1820 was based on classical principles of flowing Grecian robes.
		In England copious trimmings on skirts were all the rage from flounces and padded rolls to pleated, fanned and tucked trims.

		George III, the Prince Regent, and Regency England
		Fighting was sporadic, punctuated by English naval victories at the Battle of the Nile (1798) and Trafalgar (1805), where England's one-armed naval commander, Horatio Nelson, died in action.
		One result of these government moves was the "Cato Street Conspiracy", a rather far-fetched plot to assassinate the whole cabinet, occupy the Bank of England, and establish a new government.

	Susannah Carleton - The Regency (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Strictly speaking, the period of British history known as the Regency began in 1811, when King George III was declared irrevocably insane and his oldest son, George, the Prince of Wales, became the Prince Regent, and ruled the country in his father's stead.
		Traditional Regencies frequently have real people as characters: Beau Brummell, Prinny, the patronesses of Almack's, etc. In other words, traditional Regencies capture the elegance and the "glitter" of the era; historicals are more likely to deal with social ills or the more "gritty" aspects of life.
		In Regency England (and for several hundred years before and nearly a hundred years after), there was a fairly standard procedure for upper-class men and women to meet and become better acquainted with each other.

		The tone of society, according to Murray, tends to be set by its titular head; thus, the paradox and political detachment of the Regency Period emanated primarily from its leader, the Prince Regent.
		Meanwhile, support of the Napoleonic war and the effects of the Industrial Revolution led to economic chaos: "in some cases rents were increased five-fold between 1790 and 1830." As the rich got richer and the poor got poorer, the vicious Luddite riots protested the unemployment caused by the introduction of new machinery.
		The years of the Regency have come to be synonymous with an elegance and style which are unique in the history of English culture: but they tend to be seen through a romantic haze.

	Criticism: Jane Austen and Representations of Regency England. - book reviews
		Now, Roger Sale's new book, Jane Austen and Representations of Regency England, extends (but does not attempt to replace) her historical connections from the 1790's to the Regency itself in his discussions of the letters, Mansfield Park, Emma, Persuasion, and Sanditon.
		He first surveys the Austen family's deification of her as a domestic angel in the house, and although this is not, of course, a new story, the thoroughness with which he historically contextualizes those biographies' agendas--in short, a total renovation of her character--makes for an engaging narrative, especially for the undergraduate reader.
		Demonstrating that the biographies are inscriptions of history, he carefully contextualizes their biases within the framework of their ambivalence toward Regency values and specifically their trepidation tht she evinces traces of Regency courseness in her letters (James Edward Austen-Leigh suppressed her references to such unspeakables as "fleas, naked Cupids, and bad breath" [10]).

		Boxing was easily one of Regency England’s most popular spectator sports, enjoyed by kings and commoners alike.

		During the Regency, however, boxing remained the no-holds-barred, no-quarter given kind of fight that made the aristocracy and the common folk cheer.

	About England by Jean Ross Ewing
		Hard, shiny flint occurs in chalk beds throughout East Anglia (as this part of England is known) either as crazily shaped nodules-varying in size from small pebbles to large rocks-or as thin layers which can be mined (and were mined by ancient Britons for axe heads).
		In Cornwall and the North of England, where bedrock is close to the surface, almost all of the houses were stone.
		The Regency was a time of passion and upheaval, not a straitlaced society of rules-though there were plenty of folk who tried to impose rules, of course.
