BRIDGERTON REVISITED: WOMEN, FASHION AND SOCIETY IN THE REGENCY PERIOD

Book ID/图书代码： 10567026C00149

English Summary/英文概要： Bridgerton Revisited is the first book to place the hugely successful Netflix production Bridgerton in its historical context, the Regency Period of English history which ran from around 1795 until 1837.

This eagerly anticipated book is in three parts: Part One examines in detail the social history of the Regency, and is obviously the most recognizable to viewers of the series released so far by Netflix. As such it takes in all aspects of Regency society as enjoyed by the landowning and titled aristocracy in their opulent houses, with their lavish fashions and impeccably prescribed conduct and manners. We learn of the affairs, adultery, sport, leisure and the ardent pursuit of illicit sex in brothels, gambling houses and taverns, of Regency LGBTQ and the endless scramble for the best marriage match as played out in the extravagant balls and at the endless visits and soirées.

Part Two takes a close look at the production itself and discusses its historical accuracy in relation to what we discovered in Part One, and the divergences from that history. Using first-hand evidence from the creators and writers of the production we explore the ‘alternate history’ underscoring the series, not least the controversial issue of racial diversity in the casting. Part Three looks at the other side of the coin: the plight of the vast majority living and just surviving in Regency England, amidst the routine squalor, poverty, vagrancy, prostitution and occupational disease, workhouses and domestic and sexual abuse navigated daily, particularly by the women of the day.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本書是第一本將Netflix熱門影集《柏捷頓家族：名門韻事》置於其歷史背景中——英國攝政時期（約1795年至1837年）——的書。

這本備受期待的書籍分為三部分：第一部分詳細探討了攝政時期的社會歷史，顯然也是Netflix迄今為止推出的劇集中觀眾最熟悉的部分。因此，它涵蓋了攝政時期社會的方方面面，包括地主和貴族在他們富麗堂皇的宅邸中所享受的生活，以及他們奢華的服飾和無可挑剔的舉止禮儀。我們了解到攝政時期的婚外情、通姦、體育運動、休閒娛樂，以及在妓院、賭場和酒館中對非法性行為的狂熱追求；了解攝政時期LGBTQ群體的生活，以及在奢華舞會、無休止的拜訪和晚宴中上演的為尋找最佳婚姻而進行的無休止的爭奪。

第二部分將深入探討該劇的製作本身，並結合第一部分的內容，討論其歷史準確性以及與歷史的差異。我們將利用該劇創作者和編劇的第一手資料，探索貫穿全劇的架空歷史，尤其是選角中種族多樣性這一頗具爭議的問題。第三部分則著眼於硬幣的另一面：攝政時期英國絕大多數民眾的困境，他們掙扎求生，生活在日常的骯髒、貧困、流浪、賣淫和職業病之中，每天都要面對濟貧院、家庭暴力和性虐待，尤其是當時的女性。(Zoe)
