	English Regency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The English Regency, or simply the Regency, is a name given to the period from 1811 to 1820 in the history of the United Kingdom.
		If "Regency" is considered to be transitional between "Georgian" and "Victorian" then it would refer to the entire period from approximately 1811 until the accession of Queen Victoria, encompassing the actual period of Regency, along with George IV's reign in his own right and that of his brother William IV.
		If "Regency" is contrasted with "Eighteenth century", then it could include the whole period of the Napoleonic wars.

	The Pursuit of Pleasure: Gender, Space and Architecture in Regency London - Book Review Criticism - Find Articles
		The Pursuit of Pleasure deploys Ingaray's thesis that society is built upon the exchange of women to explore "the ways in which particular texts, in this case the ramble, represent male spatial practices and operate ideologically to define male and female mobility and visuality in public space" (24).
		In searching for the ways in which men's and women's relationships to property and space were created and perpetuated in the Regency, Rendell wants to transcend traditional Marxist architectural history and think about the gendering of space in a dynamic, rather than static way.
		Thus, her historical analysis combines architectural, cultural, and feminist perspectives to examine how patriarchal exclusion operated in three architectural bastions of Regency London--the clubs in St. James's Street, Almack's Assembly Rooms, and the Italian Opera House, all of which she connects to the ramble.
