![]() ![]() ![]() At that point, Heyer had published six Georgian (that is, 18th-century) romances, four historical novels, four contemporary novels (later suppressed), and four mystery novels (plotted with the help of her lawyer husband). ![]() I just finished teaching Regency Buck today, so I figured I’d ease back into writing reviews now that the semester’s done (thank the gods) with a review of Georgette Heyer’s very first Regency romance. I had a hell of a time picking just three of Heyer’s books to discuss, but finally settled on Regency Buck, Cotillion, and Sylvester, for how they play with the stock Regency characters and plots and the meta-commentary in Sylvester in particular. In previous years I’ve done Jane Austen (in general), Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Romance in the South (Nora Roberts’ Midnight Bayou, Claudia Dane’s first Courtesan book, and…something by Virginia Kantra–Claudia and Virginia visited the class). Once a year I get to teach a course of 6 classes on anything I want to, with students who really want to be there, without having to grade a damn thing. I volunteer to teach a continuing education class at North Carolina State University’s Encore! program, which is a non-credit program for those 50-and-over. ![]() SarahF B+ Reviews Georgette Heyer / Regency England / teaching 36 Comments ![]()
