So, what do the Regency years have to do with being more cultured and curious?
I thought you'd never ask. Okay, so if the fact that Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma were all published during the Regency era is not enough to Be fascinated with a time period, then I don't know what is.
It was a time that finally gave women voices, outside of just marrying for status, and allowed for women to finally just fall in love. Jane Austen quite literally led the way during the era of Romanticism in both the arts and literature people.
Then, how about the fact that Mary Shelley also wrote Frankenstein during the same period? Or that Edgar Allan Poe started penning his most famous poems? Or even that Ludwig van Beethoven was composing music like a madman already. It was a very short period, but one renowned for its advancements in architecture, fashion, literature, and art that forever shaped modern society as we know it today. And that, Amanda, is what it has to do with being more cultured and curious.
