Talk: Fashionable Life in Regency London
Fashionable Life in Regency London
Are you a fan of Jane Austen and want to learn more about the time in which she lived and wrote?
Has watching The Other Bennet Sister or Bridgerton left you with questions about the Regency? Was there a London season? Did ladies go to London to find a husband? Did Vauxhall Gardens really exist?
Find out the answers to these questions and discover what fashionable life in Regency London was really like in this talk by Andrew and Rachel Knowles.
