The Inimitable Georgette Heyer - A tour of her Regency England
A video talk
Georgette Heyer’s Regency novels have never been out of print. And there’s good reason for that. Her historical comedies of manners have charm, wit, romance, perception into human nature and a wealth of fabulous historical detail. This talk will take you to the places where she sets her novels. Discover the gentlemen’s clubs of Regency London, Almack’s where her heroines dance, the shops they visit, the squares and crescents where they walk and such towns as Bath and Brighton where they go for their health or to ‘take the air’. Learn about the real historical figures she introduces into her fiction, the sporting venues, and the English counties she most favoured as settings for her stories.

I stand by her. I think she’s a fabulous writer.” ― Stephen Fry
Few novelists have given me such comfort, entertainment and laughs as has the inimitable Georgette! I’m in good company in my admiration for her skill as a writer – William Golding, Stephen Fry, A.S. Byatt, Germaine Greer, Margaret Drabble and the Queen are amongst her fans.
It is not possible in a 56 minute talk to cover all aspects of Georgette Heyer’s life and work. If you’re keen to learn more, there are many fabulous books available – about her life, her characters, style and influence. Here you can find a list of books I recommend to learn more about Georgette and her work, along with links to buy her books in print, ebook or audio. Have anything to add here? Let me know.

Susannah,
I am embarrassed to say I have never read a Georgette Heyer book, but I am looking forward to having a Heyer period in my life. I thoroughly enjoyed your talk and its wonderful ending and your own Arabella.
How about Dickens? or Fanny Burney?
Whoever you choose, I will look forward to your next talk.

No need to feel embarassed! If you don’t discover her books as a teenage girl, then they often pass you by.
I will keep making video talks, and my series ‘Tea with a Book Addict’ is creating 12 new ones this year, but Dickens should definitely come soon. I am intrigued by Burney’s life but find her novels very dated.
