Product Description
Synopsis
Tying in with the 8-part prime time Channel 4 series, REGENCY HOUSE PARTY will follow 5 men and 5 women as they meet, flirt and court within the same strict protocols as Jane Austen's heroes and heroines, e.g. all women must be chaperoned, a woman should never encourage a man, a man should never touch a young lady, etc. Each participant will be designated a role and an income, which will dictate their social standing - although at any point this could change and one of the poorer guests could inherit a fortune, or a rich one suffer a crippling debt - and each chapter of the book will focus on a particular character or couple. The houseguests will take part in popular pastimes of the era: attending a public dissection, amateur dramatics, fencing and, of course, dressing up and attending balls. They will also hopefully manage to find a suitable marriage partner, whose wealth and social standing will enhance their own. There is a website at: www.regencyparty.co.uk

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and Informative., 24 Jan 2004
This book not only goes behind the scenes of the upcoming TV show on Channel 4 but also provides a detailed and accurate account of the time in which the TV show is set, the Regency Period. Packed with interesting photo's and drawings both of reality and the show the book is a must for any historian or fan of this type of show.
