Regency Basics is a two-week course consisting of ten lessons posted one every weekday. While it does include some pictures, it is not picture-intensive.

Does the British system of titles and address drive you crazy? What about the rules for marriage and inheritance? No matter what genre your tale fits, grounding it in the setting is vital to bringing the story and its characters to life. Lady of the Realm Allison Lane’s Regency Basics will cover rules specific to Regency England that pertain to titles, address, marriage, and inheritance, then help you decide which court system to turn to when a character has a legal problem, offer a general overview of the English class system, women’s rights, and the social year, plus touch on several other basics that make Regency England unique as a setting.
