His son, later George IV, was named regent and ruled the country in his father’s stead.\u003cbr\u003eThe regent was a fun-loving man who influenced society. This was also the time when England was involved in wars with Napoleon, and fashion in England was influenced by the clothing popular in France.\u003cbr\u003eJane Austen’s few novels were followed by other less well-known authors. In the mid-twentieth century, Georgette Heyer became the queen of the regency genre. Since her time, the regency is as subgenre of the romance with its own loyal readers.","brand":"Sycamore Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069854302448,"sku":"2940016100951","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016100951_p0.jpg?v=1763637172","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016100951","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
