About this title

Synopsis

Navigate the struggles of modern life―from relationships to petty office rivalries―with amusing, Austen- and Bridgerton-inspired lessons from the regency era.

What would Darcy do? How can you be more Bridgerton? Take the Regency approach and be prepared for anything life throws at you―from dates to duels, from manners to matters of the heart. You’ll soon find yourself the catch of the season.

Sick of indecent proposals from untrustworthy rakes? Be more discerning with your dance card and swipe right on only the most eligible and dashing suitors.

Does a rival at work keep trying to metaphorically (or literally) trip you up in front of the boss? Learn to sidestep petty rivalries using the rules of the Regency ballroom.

Whether you want to avoid scandal, or embrace it, keep your name out of the gossip columns and group chats with this modern take on the rules of polite society.

Putting a fresh spin on real Regency etiquette advice, A Regency Guide to Modern Life is a tongue-in-cheek handbook to navigating friendship, dating, work, summer holidays, social events, self-confidence and more―the perfect gift for fans of period dramas and Jane Austen.
