The Turbulent Regency Era and the Thistlewoods

For many people, reference to the Regency era conjures images similar to Jane Austen’s characters – young ladies in high-waisted dresses with square-cut necklines, sharing gossip and drinking tea, or attending balls and seeking their own versions of Mr Darcy.
