LIST OF BEST REGENCY PERIOD BOOKS that are not Jane Austen

[@TwomorzZ]

I love when you make these videos! They're great for someone like me who is just starting their journey through the classics.

[@tristanandtheclassics6538]

Thank you, Chris. I enjoy researching them. I'm particularly curious about Lady Sydney Morgan. She was quite the character.

[@kasiakwiatkowska5816]

Same here Chris! Don’t we all love those gems from Tristan? See you in the comments ☺️

[@marjoriedonnett5467]

I just found your channel yesterday. I have loved the classics since I was in high school when my English literature teacher recommended Tess of the D'Urbervilles to me. Now I'm retired and spend my time with reading and quilting. Thank you for being on KZbin! You are so knowledgeable and interesting.

[@jennyking1773]

I've been trying to put together my TBR for the readathon and I have Sir Walter Scott, Maria Edgeworth and Ann Radcliffe on my list, as well as Mary Shelley, Frances Burney and Susan Ferrier. I'm really looking forward to reading more books from this time period!

[@BookishPrincess]

This is such a brilliant list, feeling like I need to add a few more books to my Febregency TBR now! 😄

[@tristanandtheclassics6538]

Hi Emma! Great to see you here. I know what you mean about the tbr. There are just so many books!!! I'm struggling to keep the number down. Can't wait for Febregency to start. January is simply making a nuisance of itself now😀

[@lucyssweetjournaling]

You make all of these sound so good. I am really intrigued by Lady Sydney Morgan.

[@tristanandtheclassics6538]

Yes she fascinates too.

[@maslina4567]

Hi! I hope you are well. Eagerly awaiting your next video! 😊

[@kvadiwala681]

Sir your presentation on books is amazing, I love to watch all new episodes and looking forward to watch a new one on middle and high school children's reading books. Thanks again and may God bless

[@faithbooks7906]

This is fantastic! So many new to me authors. I am so glad you mention Georgette Heyer. I love her interpretation of the Regency period.

[@tristanandtheclassics6538]

Thank you. My wife is a Georgette Heyer fan.😃

[@murphbee]

I first got interested in the Regency through my mum’s love of Heyer. She passed both loves on.

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

Taking notes and adding to my Want to Read! 🎉🎉 I've never read any of these but I've heard of Mysteries of Udolpho. My friend read it and loved it so I've been interested. Many of these sound great to me! Thank you!!

[@tristanandtheclassics6538]

There's just too many books isn't there?😅

[@maslina4567]

Maria Edgeworth and Anne Radcliffe were splendid writers indeed. Really enthused about Tristram Shandy (have a copy but have yet to read it) and Lady Sydney Morgan sounds like a hoot! As a new subscriber I am filled with gratitude at discovering your intuitive, thoughtful, witty and informative channel. Absolutely stellar. My wheelhouse to a T! Your Wodehouse and book cover videos (I'm bingeing!) are sublimely funny. Thank you!

[@tristanandtheclassics6538]

Hi, Maslina! This is such a lovely comment. Thank you. Lady Sydney Morgan really has grabbed my interest. I hope you enjoy Tristram Shandy, it's a remarkable work. As for the book covers, I feel the urge to do another one. I thoroughly enjoyed making that video.😃

[@thedativecase9733]

Tristram Shandy is a wonderful read. However first time I tried reading it in my late teens I couldn't get into it. A few years later however, BBC Radio 3 did a brilliant dramatisation of the novel which I enjoyed, and when I tried again I totally got it. It's been one of my favourite books ever since.

[@maslina4567]

Thank you for the wonderful suggestions, Tristan! 📚 Can't wait to get Febregency started! 🤓

You're welcome, Lu. I'm excited for Febregency too. It can't come soon enough.😃

Oh, I say thank you, Kate! Pleased you liked it. It's such a great time period, isn't it? I hope you are doing well.

[@deblawrence8341]

Hi Tristan ... loved, loved, LOVED this video, and shared it with all of my friends in book group! I'm over the pond, in the states, and found a lovely copy of Sterne's "Tristram Shandy" - it sounds really funny and I adore books like this. I'm a big fan of "The Pickwick Papers" and just love it when even after all these years, these authors can still tickle our funny bones! 😍

[@ChristyLuisDostoevskyinSpace]

SO USEFUL! Thank you so much, Tristan! I'm excited to check out The Vicar of Wakefield. Among all of these, I've only read Sir Walter Scott and Anne Radcliffe.

[@tristanandtheclassics6538]

Hey, Christy! Pleased you liked it. I think I will revisit Vicar of Wakefield for Febregency. Though I'm very intrigued by Lady Sydney Morgan. So excited to do this with you all.😀

[@ChristyLuisDostoevskyinSpace]

@tristanandtheclassics6538 yesss! I'm so excited that I'll get to hear your thoughts while I read it 😂 Maybe we can record a discussion video! So glad you are joining us!!!!

[@davebonello1944]

(Melanie here) I just finished Belinda by Maria Edgeworth. It was enjoyable. It reminded me a little of Mansfield Park.

[@lucyjazz1]

Another Tristan’s video… and my wishlist keeps on growing 😀

[@kathykovach9937]

How fun! I'm so glad I found your channel. Thanks for the suggestions - I added several to my TBR.

[@kaori17az]

Hello, I got recommended your videos about Jane Austen an I kept watching some of your other videos and I quite liked them.

[@genemcn3579]

Have not seen any new vids from you recently, hope all is well. I've enjoyed your videos.

[@baroqueviolin82]

I have a 1791 edition of Tristram Shandy. It's really funny. ❤ 📖 I didn't know Sterne was influential in the Regency. I'm happy to have stumbled upon your channel. ^^

[@Sarah-cd1mj]

Awesome video! Have you ever heard of An Austriallian Girl by Catherine Martin, Olive by Dinah Craik or East goes West by I forgot the authors name? I recently found these but it is great to discover new regency authors😊😊😊

[@tristanandtheclassics6538]

Thanks Sarah. I have heard of Olive by Dinah Craik. Not come across the other to. There's just so many books I feel I need to clone myself a few times😅

[@janeaustenliteracyfoundation]

This is the perfect video as we prepare for Jane Austen July!

[@lisainbookland]

Being from Galway, I really must read The Wild Irish Girl - I’d heard of it but nothing about the Lady Sydney Morgan; so thanks for the info! Loads of great-sounding books here, I’ll definitely be coming back to this video.

[@charmainesaliba5546]

Hi Tristan. All these authors sound so interesting. I only heard of two of them even though I haven't read any books by them. I will look into them. Thanks for this video

[@novelideea]

I have read from Edgeworth, Scott, Radcliffe & Stern. I think I would like to try Lady Sydney or Regina Roche maybe! Thank you for all the suggestions!

[@tristanandtheclassics6538]

Lady Sydney is the one who has grabbed my attention too.

[@jmsl910]

i'm so glad i found you & this channel. your name was referenced in an *emmie* comment is 65 your birth year? mine is!!

I'm pleased to have met you too. Nice that I'm mentioned on an Emmie comment. A prestigious channel to be sure. 65 isn't my birth year though, I'm an 80s child. Would loved to have been a 70s child though.

I read A simple Story last year. It was a great reading experience to my although I took a while to get into it. Great video!

[@tristanandtheclassics6538]

That's great that you have read A Simple Story, Sabine. It gives a real taste of what people enjoyed reading back then. There are a few film versions made of it too.

Thank you :3 very interesting list i have never heard about some of those authors

Hi Tristan just discovered your fabulous videos. How wow they are. Do you teach English literature in college or school? I have always wanted to know the nuisances of classic books . I just love what you have to say about my lifelong favourites. Best wishes Kay

[@amyofhearthridge]

This is fascinating! Thank you, new subscriber! 😄♥️I’m definitely checking into Rob Roy. My son enjoyed Ivanhoe.

[@inspirationlab1444]

started with Barchester towers..... and going like 50 pages a day.... a book or two a week.... thank you for your slow reading tips...in the video..... I was always more about quantity...can't say I have completely rid myself of that idea but now starting to focus more on quality

[@kaori17az]

These books look so interesting, I plan on reading them all.

[@denisadellinger4543]

Thank you so much for this video! I have read Edgeworth and West and I think I have read the Vicar of Wakefield. I read the books several years ago and can't remember the stories. Jane West, I read for my Jane Austen Book club. Next, we are reading some poets. I am getting ready to jump into that project. What about Evelina? Was that author a little early? I know she influenced Jane Austen. I think I would like to do the reading project for February. I have to find out what the guidelines are.

[@jaynefederici9140]

Now I'm covered for February. I've got Sir Walter Scott a biography, Waverly and complete poems. I've also got The Vicar of Wakefield. That's plenty for me. BTW I have just read The Yellow Wallpaper from your recommended short books. It's very creepy indeed. It's brilliant how in just a few pages how it tells the story.

[@tristanandtheclassics6538]

That's a good reading list. The regency is very incomplete without Walter Scott. I think I might go back to Vicar of Wakefield in Feb too.

[@frankmorlock9134]

Nice list. But I think you should put Thomas Love Peacock on it. His first novel was published in 1815. He's got an impish sense of humor that is hard to imitate. He practically invented the novel of ideas. I've read most of his novels. As to Lady Morgan, I once owned a copy of the Wild Irish Girl but was disappointed in it and never finished it. I used to love reading Georgette Heyer. She is really a fine writer,

[@comette4u]

Hello Tristan!: I found a couple on my TBR: Marriage, by Susan Ferrier (pub. 1818), and Adeline Mowbray, by Amelia Opie (pub 1804). I also have Rookwood, by Ainsworth that I might give a glance at. 😁

[@tristanandtheclassics6538]

That sounds great. I almost chose a Susan Ferrier so I'm leased you've mentioned her. Rookwood was a best seller.

[@susprime7018]

Read the men you mentioned but not the women, I'll have to look into them, heard of The Wild Irish Girl and Edgeworth. My Grandmother was named Amanda and her Grandmother was named Amanda, so that one sounds interesting since it was popular in America. Looked it up, my Great-Great Grandmother was born in 1837, so after the Regency period, but just bought Regina Maria Roche's The Children of the Abbey for the Kindle. I have Marriage by Susan Ferrier in the tbr, published 1818, that works. Loved Tristam Shandy and The Vicar of Wakefield. Thank you Tristan.

[@clarepotter7584]

Thanks for doing this video. So far I've ordered 'The Gamester' by Edward Moore, 'The Female Quixote' by Charlotte Lennox, 'Cambrian Pictures' which looks amusing, by Ann Julia Hatton. I need to choose some poetry.

[@jassdad5202]

I actually have a copy of The Wild Irish Girl and read it recently. Not one of my favorite classics, but it is very interesting if you like to learn about the Irish.

[@tristanandtheclassics6538]

That's great that you've read it. Even though some of there are a lot of books which don't rate as true classics, I always find it thrilling to read something that was extremely popular in its time. It connects us with other readers over distances of time.

[@billiechristine4034]

So many of these authors and their books sound so interesting. I am having trouble actually finding physical copies of books written by Jane West however (e-books are difficult for me to read).

[@Whatever_Happy_People]

Hullo Tristan the last book I've read this month was Jules Verne s Paris in the 2oth century I loved it. Very entertaining.
