A fun, fascinating romp through the Regency and all the aspects that made it the first true flush of modernity in so many ways. It's probably a bit of a pop-history-101 approach, but that suited me tremendously as someone familiar with the trappings but not the actual history. Very readable, and put a lot of things in excellent context for me, though honestly my strongest takeaway is a new understanding of why romance writers and readers like the period so much!

Took me ages to finally get through this, but what a great overview of the Regency period! Obviously it’s impossible to cover everything, so some parts did feel rushed or lacking in detail, but generally a fun read.

It was a struggle to get through this. I love Regency history, and was hoping this would fill in some gaps. but unfortunately it felt like a chore reading it.
I don't think I'd revisit it.
