Inquiring readers, It's such a delight to receive first-hand information from a friend who lives in the U.K. Frequent contributor, Tony Grant, writes about his impressions of seeing the BBC2 special last Sunday entitled Pride and Prejudice: Having a Ball. The scenes were filmed in Chawton House wherein a Regency ball was reconstructed in a way that Jane Austen's contemporaries knew well, but whose meanings in many instances have been lost to us.
Lots of fun stuff here (hello, fiction resource!). I hope I could watch this somewhere (online) for a better understanding of certain Regency practices and for possible story ideas.
