Georgian and Victorian Historical Fiction, including Regency

Three sparkling novels from an age of Enlightenment and Revolutio

n
Sometimes known as ‘The Long Eighteenth Century,’ and including the brief period known as The Regency, the Georgian era ran from the years 1714 to 1830. It was a time of great achievement in the arts and sciences, but also one of considerable inequality socially. Fashions and pleasures were pursued with vigour, and the dangers of living in a big city such as London resulted in lives that were intense, urgent and fast.

The Victorian period, meanwhile, from 1837 to 1901, provides us with everything a lover of the Gothic could wish for - bleak and yet sophisticated; busy and yet mysterious. Against a backdrop of revolution and social unrest on the continent, intrigue and ‘atmosphere’ simply emanated from the walls in 19th-century England.

Here are three very different works of historical fiction celebrating those times:

1) The Testament of Sophie Dawes - a neo-Victorian tale of scandal and suspense presented in the form of a diary and letters.

2) Wildish - an adult romantic comedy set during the reign of George II.

3) Queen Victoria and the Men who Loved Her - a blend of fantasy and biographical fiction.
