Regency House Party

I found out alot more then what was aired on television. Miss Conick winning the Lottery and become the richest women at the party. Being a history buff learned alot more about the time period too!

I saw Regency House Party on the BBC and loved it, so I had to have this book. It is wonderfully informative on all sorts of aspects of the English Regency culture, and it goes behind the scenes to record the candid reactions of the very modern day participants in Regency House Party to the strictures of a society that lived almost 200 years ago. I especially loved the quality and quantity of gorgeous pictures inside the Regency House and of the men boxing, hunting, etcetera, while the women had to content themselves with indoor, sedentary occupations. It answers many questions you've always had about how people did things in ages past but were afraid to ask.Gentle Journey
