In Jane Austen's novels, which were written in the Regency Era, her ladies often had occasion to be with gentlemen alone, unchaperoned. Walking with Col. Fitzwilliam, Mr. Darcy's first visit to Elizabeth, etc. The ideal was to be chaperoned but I don't think they payed as much attention to that rule as historians think. Much like we today don't really behave according to good etiquette all the time either.

I think Im considered to be upper middle class but my husband is lower middle class/ and he has taught me so so much in way of politics. But I can say I am so thankful I found him and if I were living in a different decade I would say say my parents wouldnt approve and I wouldnt be as happy as I am. Love that there isnt a social standard for marriage and dating (at least for my social class)

because my mother hated that she had money, she hated all the rich people, and when it was my time to find a wife, and got invited everywhere, she refused to take me. so. i'm still single. and refused 4 arranged marriages. that'll teach her

What about black people in this era? Could they be noble and partecipate in the high balls and ranks too? I saw it in a small clip from the serie, but I remember from school time that those things could not exist. If someone can give an explanation I would appreciate it

I'm glad he used so many snippets from the 1995 Pride and Prejudice. It's my favorite, and I always get annoyed that it gets passed over for the 2005 one. Plus the Sense and Sensibility one from the same year (1995. Loved that one too: )

There's a few stories in my family of couples that got married in Scotland. it always confused me as we were English and Irish but I'm starting to understand now. The women in my family have never been good at being obedient.

I gotta admit though, I think modern American culture could take some notes from this era. We need more romance! And more manners and structure. Things are too casual and annoying these days

Most of these rules are still followed in the muslim high society. Marrying from the same class, courtship, having chaperons when seeing each other. Marrying from same families or tribes.

I can understand the money thing. My old uncle used to say, When poverty comes in the back door love goes out the front door. I found out the hard way he was right.

To be fair to the Regency era, there are still 4 US states that allow 14 year olds to marry with parental consent--and 2 of them have no minimum wage at all. >. >

The love letters 100% FALSE it was actually socially unacceptable for a single woman to correspond with a potential suitor in the regency period.

Your modern comments and references are annoying. They cut the flow of the information and distract from the main topic.
