Re: Regency Romances

Late, but I've a suggestion for this discussion.

There's Emily Eden's The Semi-Attached Couple. It was published in 1860 but written and set in 1820 (if I'm not mistaken), and I remember that when reading, not only I found the style very much like Austen's (probably influenced by it!) but very curious in terms of the social and romantic dynamics. It's fun, too. :)
