Immerse yourself in the vanished world inhabited by Jane Austen's contemporaries. Packed with detail and anecdotes, this is an intimate exploration of how the middle and upper classes lived from 1775, the year of Austen's birth, to the coronation of George IV in 1820. Sue Wilkes skillfully conjures up all aspects of daily life within the period, drawing on contemporary diaries, illustrations, letters, novels, travel literature, and archives.

  • Were all unmarried affluent men really "in want of a wife"?
  • Where would a young lady seek adventure?
  • Would "taking the waters" at Bath and other spas kill or cure you?
  • Was Lizzy Bennet bitten by bed-bugs while traveling?
  • What would you wear to a country ball or a dance at Almack's?
  • Would Mr. Darcy have worn a corset?
  • What hidden horrors lurked in elegant Regency houses?

Exceptionally well-presented and packed with information about daily life from 1775 to 1820, focusing on the middle and upper classes. It offers abundant details and examples from real-life accounts and Jane Austen novels, covering topics like etiquette, finances, travel, fashion, entails, proposals, elopements, marriages, etc. The content is well-organized and easy to understand.

The narrator’s engaging and pleasant voice made the wealth of details even more enjoyable. This audiobook exceeded my expectations and is a fantastic companion to Regency novels.

Provides excellent scope for the imagination with a lively, witty writing style and interesting, well placed quotes. Definitely would recommend to all Austinians for total immersion into Jane’s world and works.

Witty and Wonderful

I expected significantly more from a book that "used" Jane Austin's name. As it turns out, it was nothing more than an inferior trick to sell what amounted to a cheap trick to sell low grade garbage. The author needs to get a new career!

Sadly boring
