I love reading Historical romance and...Hi Bronwen!<br /><br />I love reading Historical romance and the Regency is my favorite time period.<br /><br />To me the early 19th century is a fascinating time period. Whenever I read a Regency romances I automatically think of the books I had read are by Jane Austen and Gerogette Heyer. I really enjoy the fast paced interaction between the characters as well.<br /><br />Whenever I read a Rengency romance I always enjoy the scenes of the social interactions of the characters in the reference to what was happening in the time period the stories are set whether it's a ball the heroine is attending or the social activities that were prevalent at the time like going for carriage rides in the park, dinner parties or making "morning" calls! If the characters attend the opera or a play I love when what is playing is included as well. To me there is no such thing as too much information.<br /><br />Maybe because my younger son fenced in High School but I love when that is included in the book as well. If not I want some sort of "physical activity" to be included whether riding at the hunt or boxing.<br />I also love that are so many different things that can be included and be true to the period with the marriages of convenience, mistresses as well as characters of different levels of society including Kings to the working class. <br /><br />To me reading Regency offers me a wide range of experiences to discover and the flexibility authors of Regency romance can use while developing their stories!Jeanne Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05111451097520221555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-12192565510641318572012-06-09T14:35:33.457-04:002012-06-09T14:35:33.457-04:00Regency sure is full of things that inspire, and i...Regency sure is full of things that inspire, and in my head it is such a romantic time.
