Great job Ellie. Came here after watching Bridgerton and wondered what Regency era was!

[valeriebolejack]

The Victorian values actually were to answer to the debauchery of the Royal Family during the Regency period. Victoria was trying to restore the Royal Family reputation. Public perception was key to retaining the monarchy, especially with the examples of the American and the French revolutions.

The movie The Madness of King George is pretty well done and gives an idea both of the fits of madness the king suffered from and of the character of the prince.

Omg you are the channel I didn't know I needed in my life. No one around me cares about Jane Austen so I have to get my kicks online lol.

Jane Austen addict from the Philippines thanking you for this bout of knowledge

[elmalee]

I've been re-watching your videos (like a million times a day) and I remember Jane Austen actually dedicated one of her books to the Prince Regent. I looked it up and it was Emma. It says:

To his ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE REGENT, this work is, by his Royal Highness's permission, most respectfully dedicated, BY HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS'S dutiful and obedient humble servant, THE AUTHOR.

Can you hear the sarcasm? 😂 I searched, "Jane Austen Emma dedication"

the Regency era was actually only from 1811 to 1820 because that was the length of the said regency of George IV. In fact, the Regency era was more like a sub era of the larger Georgian era

I like empire waistlines on long, ankle length cotton dresses. I wear them all the time!!

[oekmama]

Haha. The Prince Regent was a large fan of Jane Austen! I saw what you did there!🤣 I think he was quite large, and was lampooned constantly at the time about his large appetites. Well done!

I am so interested with all of these contents in the videos of Ellie Dashwood. Thank you.

6:03 Did you know that the role of the Prince Regent, in 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' (1982) is played by 🇬🇧Julian Fellowes - who is now more famed for his writing 'Downtown Abbey' (2010-2015), 'The English Game' (2020) and 'The Gilded Age' (2022-) than being an Actor.

Hi Elli, i really like your Chanel!
I think it is interessting how different the Eras are named in different Countrys. I am a bis Jane Austen Fan so i know what the regency era was. But i know this mostley by the franch Name "Empire" i think it was named like this because Napoleon was the Emperor (i dont know how to writh this 😂🙈) of Franc. And because i am from Germany, i know this time by the Name "Klassizismus". In Germany, i guss we dont named the eras after monachs, because ther was never a Kingdom of Germany....our eras are named after sozial specialtys. The "Klassizismus" was known for Goethe and Schiller....to popular authers they make the German Literatur popular and the society loves to lif ther lifes after the ruls in the Storys of Gothe and Schiller. The best known ones are...."Faust", "Ephigenie auf Taures" and "die Leiden des jungen Wärters". ☺️

[sabrinagrant]

Thank you very much. Your explanation is way clearer🤔

[jerrykitich]

If I ever got to rule, it would be known as the Jerry-error, I'm sure. Dashy-notes are not an error though, they are great.

[unaanguila]

Thanks for sharing the information and for the subs.

[professorsogol]

Why its the Regency era deemed to begin in 1795 when the Prince Regent was not appointed regent until 1811?

[anagabrielachirinosponce]

Thank you, that was very educational to me. ❤

[lruss]

Thank you! I had no idea why the Regency era had that name!🇨🇦
