Overview

The Regency Era in England didn’t last long (1811–1820), but all six of Jane Austen’s novels were published during this period. This handout gives students important background information about the culture, norms, and manners of the time. Pass out this support prior to reading Pride and Prejudice. Allow the information presented to spark discussion, and, if time allows, invite students to research and share even more details about this dramatic slice of British history.
