Me: This seems like a lot of effort, so I'll just get myself a glass of wine and a book to stay home and sleep in.

Jane Austen’s books provide quite a few examples of a man and a woman being alone together. For example, Darcy and Elizabeth walking together at Rosings.

Crucially: they would have been visible at all times.

Very nice :=) This explains much of Jane Austin's work, since her heroines often find the perfect balance between financial security and love, makes you wonder how many women never found that :=(. All that said very nice video, keep it up :=)

This was quite illuminating! Glad you mentioned dating was much more complicated than what was depicted in the Bridgerton Series. Your side comments were funny and one in particular made me laugh out loud. thanks for sharing your talent and interest of history with all of us.

Love this!! esp how straightforward you were! I plan on leading a regency-era-inspired D&D game where the players try to get married, will definitely send this to them to help understand the wild rules that they instilled lol

Just look at Jane Austin's heroines! They don't spend more time listening than speaking, they aren't afraid of sharing their opinions, and they certainly don't agree with everything a man says. Being fictional, though, these ladies don't represent all of posh English society. I've always imagined that novels like "Pride and Prejudice" offered Miss Austin's readers a chance to fantasize a bit. Also . . . . It's unfortunate, but only the toffs kept diaries and engaged in prodigious correspondence, so we don't know as much about the lives of so-called "ordinary" people. I wish I did know more, but I suspect they followed less complicated versions of the same rules.

Yeah, I've found it difficult to get detailed information on more middle class people of this time period. That's an interesting point about Jane Austen's heroines letting readers fantasize.

@k.h.6991 3 ай бұрын

Not all of Jane Austen's heroines were as opinionated as Elizabeth Bennet. Anne Elliott and Fanny Price are both quite demure.

Elizabeth Bennet wasn't quite upper-class, so that might account for her less than proper behavior.

Hello! This is a really well put together video, and you have a great presentation and awesome sense of humor. I’d like to follow you, however you don’t cite any of your sources, which means I can’t know for sure how thoroughly you researched this. Do you have a works cited somewhere?

Hi! I was having some issues posting my research links on KZfaq that ended up getting me a warning for a strike so I stopped for a while until I found a better solution. I now actually have a pastebin where I will be citing for all my videos in the future. You can find the sources for this video here: pastebin.com/Ng4jcMJ6

I think that these very strict rules applied mainly to titled folks; the landed gentry & those in professions or trade were a bit less strict & rigid. Lizzie Bennet is alone w/Mr. Darcy several times w/out any damage to her reputation among her peers, although I'm sure Lady Catherine would have fainted had her daughter Anne done the same. Even Lydia Bennet's scandalous behavior in running off w/bad boy Wickham is forgivable among their peers, to some extent, by her subsequent marriage to her seducer. Again for the titled folks, definitely not. Reading literature of the period is a good window into the manners 7 rules of the different strata of society "back in the days." Reading etiquette books is a bit of a slippery slope, as they seem often to exaggerate & recommend the very most restrictive & minute detail, probably catering to the newly wealthy who were over-eager to emulate the manners of the social classes to which they aspired. As difficult as some of these restrictions seem to us, sometimes one could wish that there were a few more rules & guidelines today besides "always do a background check!"

Its funny how nowadays marrying your cousin is seen as super lower class 😅 im pretty sire the current royal family is all marrying outside of their relations.

@jonesnori 4 ай бұрын

They didn't used to, though! Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip were related on both sides - I believe 3rd cousins one way and 2nd the other, with a once removed on one or both. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were first cousins. Some royal families even engaged in uncle/niece marriages, which really is incestuous. (First cousin relationships are on the edge. Genetically, they are only very slightly more risky than unrelated partners, as long as they are not repeated. A family with a lot of cousin marriages has a much higher risk. They also do not generally have a power discrepancy, though there can be exceptions there.)

@Lady_dromeda 4 ай бұрын

@@jonesnori yeah, Victorias children were the last to have the higher risk of birth defects if im not mistaken?

@jonesnori 4 ай бұрын

@Lady_dromeda Well, royals in Europe continued to mostly marry other royals through roughly the first half of the Twentieth Century, but not mostly as close as first cousins. Certainly the hemophilia that was prevalent in European royal families for about a century stems from Victoria, but I don't think the cousin marriage had anything to do with that. The gene is thought to have arisen spontaneously in one of Victoria's X chromosomes, and to have descended from her to some of her children. The fact royals usually married other royals certainly caused it to spread, though. The British main line didn't get it, but it showed up in royal families in Spain, at least one German country that I recall, and Russia. I think it's long since died out of those lines.

From what I've seen in my research, I think there were different expectations and rules for lower class people.

@user-ku6tr4vd6z 24 күн бұрын

Given that the upper class frequently criticized the newly rich for their lack of manners, I would venture to say that it was not the same for the lower classes.
