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.
It’s a bit funny that Jane Austen made me think the Regency era was any more respectable. Then again 1. Her protagonists were mostly gentry with Anne Elliot being the highest ranked as the daughter of a baronet. 2. Her main criticism with society wasn’t exactly sexual mores so her characters weren’t involved in sexual affairs as a major plot point… mostly.
England had already experienced civil war. Got rid of the King but restored it after the unpopular dictator died. They are not new to revolutions. British people are not going back to Cromwell /civil war era.
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.
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'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"
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!
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.
I seriously love your videos! They are so amazing and so clever! Loved this one! Keep making these videos! ❤️❤️ and I love the scarlet pimpernel! But I love the series with Richard E Grant! Haha
Aw! Thank you so much! I tried watching the newer Scarlet Pimpernel series once, but I think I'm just too attached to the old! Lol. Either way, The Scarlet Pimpernel is awesome! The book was great too, though considerably different than the movie.
It's hard to run a nation when the king is not mentally fit. I get it. We got rid of the balmy king and a few centuries later we get our own incompetent ruler.
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". ☺️
Even more different. 1810 to 20 in mainland of S America, C America, Mexico, there was the Independence Wars & Era. Ironically. In Argentina + Uruguay, at least, S Americans took French monarchist/royalist music + dance, then Menuet (Minuet) + changed into several pro independence republican dances, like Minue Federal, Minue Nacional, Minue Montonero (Highland) etc. Minuet--- from royalist symbol to republican symbol?!
Horrid factories; flocked to the cities? One can only imagine then how poor were their lives in the countryside by comparison. There was never any mass movement to repopulate the countryside and from that we can deduce, perhaps that the cities were not so grim as portrayed. The general financial improvement gave the common people the money for them to indulge themselves in such things as writing, the appreciation of the arts. Dickens, for one, rose from the 'blacking shop', arduous labour, to become the man we know.
I have a question:- If prince George ruled from only 1811 to 1820 as a regent for his father , then why is the entire period 1790 to 1837 considered regency even if there was no regent ?
Hello. Something I have not understand is why Jane Austen is considered a georgian writer and Mary Shelley a romantic one if they wrote in the same period? Frankenstein for instance was written in 1818 and Emma only three years before. Thank you and that's a very good video!
Most of Jane Austen's works are relatively light-hearted and have been described as a left-over from the Age of Enlightenment. "Frankenstein" however is a horror story and a typical example of Romanticism literature.
1795-1837 is called “the long regency” but for technical purposes the regency was literally just 1811-1820 when the prince of wales was officially regent
This is so true. 😂 Suddenly this video’s views took off a few months ago and at first I didn’t know why. Then I discovered the Bridgerton/Regency connection and was like, ohhhh. 😂
In US. Canadian part of N America was under England, so... In Mexico, C + S America (only Spanish colonies areas),.it was 1810 to 20 Independence period.
Results were extremely contradictory. W Europe s + N Americas, especially wealthy capitalists became ever richer, while workers + farmers, etc. were at 1st very badly treated, but later were given concessions in wages, health medicine. etc. social.services, etc. The W Europe + US corporate capitalist empires in paleo (old) + now neo (new) colonies gave/give no concessions to workers whom they force to.work for almost nothing in wages, social.services etc. The Western capitalists still become ever wealthier as they force absolute domination in.neo colonies + decreasing relative domination in imperial.countries Both techniques are 2 sides of same coin, or fiat currency. The rich use both ways + other ways to become ever richer For them, the sky, or outer space, is the limit.
Princess Charlotte was indeed George IV (that is, the Prince Regent's) daughter who died. But Amelia was George III Daughter who died at a young age. Just like Ellie said. You just got your George's mixed up.
Well it does get confusing when they all have the same names 😆 I had to go back and double check everything when I read your comment. Technically you were both right. 😊

victorian era -> era of colonism

Great job Ellie. Came here after watching Bridgerton and wondered what Regency era was!
Aw! Thank you! It was an incredible era that definitely deserves more shows set in it!
Me too.
I know Bridgerton is not extremely accurate on history, but I would love to ear your thought about the show Ellie :)
You are doing the exact same thing that I long for, love ya
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

I like empire waistlines on long, ankle length cotton dresses. I wear them all the time!!
Empire waisted dresses are quite comfortable!
I am so interested with all of these contents in the videos of Ellie Dashwood. Thank you.

Thank you very much. Your explanation is way clearer🤔
If you're American, you might remember King George III from Hamilton: "when you're gone, I'll go MAD!"
I just learned something new today ❤
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.
Thank you, that was very educational to me. ❤
You may want to do a video on the move "The Madness of King George"
can I just say how much I'm in love with your videos? ❤ thank you so much!
Aw! Thank you so much!
LOVE this
Thank you so much!
I feel much smarter now 👍🏼💗😁

Thanks for sharing the information and for the subs.

We didn't have a "Regency Era" when I went to school. Ah, we were all so much younger then.
Love your videos! Lots of love from Brazil!
Same period in Brazil was---beginning of
Brazil Portuguese empire?
Did Brasil have women novelists similar to Jane Austen?
Muito obrigado.

Elizabithian? That’s so cute 🥰
☺️
What defines "Gothic Romance" ?
Mental instability, departure from reality? Hmm? King George III reminds me of another head of state.
And she made and posted this video during his administr...ugh his 'reign.' 😉
I love your channel ❤
Why its the Regency era deemed to begin in 1795 when the Prince Regent was not appointed regent until 1811?
Hello. Something I have not understand is why Jane Austen is considered a georgian writer and Mary Shelley a romantic one if they wrote in the same period? Frankenstein for instance was written in 1818 and Emma only three years before. Thank you and that's a very good video!

Thank you! I had no idea why the Regency era had that name!🇨🇦
I love your Channel Ellie.Hugh Jane Austen fan here from India
Could you please make a video on the concept of Victorian Compromise? Would be a great help. Thank you.
I loved this video.. thanks for all the information. Love Jane Austen ❤️ ❤️ ❤️❤️
So if the elizabethian period was the reign of Elizabeth 1 what is the current monarch's reign called?
I just found your channel! Thank you 😊
Please make more videos!
Always love you
I'm watching this because I love Jane Austen
Where do you get all your information?
Thank you!!! ❤❤
I loved learning thnxz so much
I guess in 2021, Bridgerton defines the regency 😅
This is so true. 😂 Suddenly this video’s views took off a few months ago and at first I didn’t know why. Then I discovered the Bridgerton/Regency connection and was like, ohhhh. 😂
In America that era is called the Federal era.
In US. Canadian part of N America was
under England, so...
In Mexico, C + S America (only Spanish
colonies areas),.it was 1810 to 20
Independence period.
Completely off-topic but you look so much like Cecily Strong in this video
If Parliament appointed the King's eldest son to rule in George III's stead with the Act of Regency in 1811, why does the Regency Era start in 1795?
The “t” is silent in often.
Lovely dress
if i heard Regency Era i remember Mr. Ernest Sinclaire.
iykyk
🤔.. interesting.
😍
The Victorian era was the worst thing to happen to humanity.
Without the advances that occurred at that time, you would not be here today. Like it or not
Really? You think Industrial Revolution was bad ?
Results were extremely contradictory.
W Europe s + N Americas, especially
wealthy capitalists became ever richer,
while workers + farmers, etc. were at 1st
very badly treated, but later were given
concessions in wages, health medicine.
etc. social.services, etc.
The W Europe + US corporate capitalist
empires in paleo (old) + now neo (new)
colonies gave/give no concessions to
workers whom they force to.work for
almost nothing in wages, social.services
etc. The Western capitalists still become
ever wealthier as they force absolute
domination in.neo colonies + decreasing
relative domination in imperial.countries
Both techniques are 2 sides of same coin, or fiat currency. The rich use both ways + other ways to become ever richer
For them, the sky, or outer space, is the
limit.
AMAZING era? Mmm, not so much... Oh, and George IV Daughter (who died young) was Princess Charlotte, not Amelia... sorry.
Princess Charlotte was indeed George IV (that is, the Prince Regent's) daughter who died. But Amelia was George III Daughter who died at a young age. Just like Ellie said. You just got your George's mixed up.
@@angelachapman4963 Sorry, I didn't notice Ellie mentioned Amelia as "the daughter of George III". Hey, when you're right, you're right. :)
Well it does get confusing when they all have the same names 😆 I had to go back and double check everything when I read your comment. Technically you were both right. 😊
