A Lady of Distinction
À propos de cet audio
"Naturally, a 'Lady of Distinction', in coy anonymity, has written it. But this book was no joke in Regency times, and much of the advice would have been taken very much to heart....The style of writing of this period can only be described as flowery; everything is padded out with endless adjectives, adverbs, and classical references. So one receives the following advice: 'Again, I repeat, the libertine, the gross Epicurean, may feast his imbruted gaze upon a form so stripped of decency; for he is a creature whose senses are bent to the earth and the basest offerings are his banquet.' This, apparently, is the result of leaving too much shoulder showing!" (Anne Woodley, editor, Regency Collection On-Line)
This audiobook will be especially indispensable to anyone interested in the times of Jane Austen, of English Regency, of Napoleon, the early United States, and the War of 1812.

Rules for Ladies
This is fascinating and a great deal of fun. Austen readers will be interested to learn more about the milieu that her characters inhabited.
Some of the 200 year old tips and guidelines for dress have an eerie familiarity….best colours for the complexion, styles for different body types, appropriate beauty aspirations for your age. I would say the Lady could be a YouTuber today but I fear she might be too erudite.
