Regency England

Mary Jo Putney on Regency Romance popularity: "It was the dawn of the modern age, where revolutions and industrial change were creating the society we recognize now. The old regime was dead, and the people of that time period (spoke) in voices we can recognize. They are accessible. It was also an age of wonderful writers, like Jane Austen and the Romantic poets. At the same time, the Regency is distant enough to have glamour...dashing carriages. No powdered wigs...rather, women wore graceful Empire styles and men were starting to wear clothing not that different from what is worn now. ...Finally, it was the Napoleonic period, where there was war...(that) gives the opportunity for wonderful, dashing soldier and spy heroes, and sometimes heroines, too.
