Wait am I crazy or aren't Regency and Edwardian a good 80 years apart

[dancingmouse]

Roughly, yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

How do you confuse them what

[(Anonymous)]

There are a lot of people who don't know very much about English history, or they might know about specific events or people but not where they fit in the timeline.

[(Anonymous)]

I guess Edwardian just feels way too recent for that? Like, it's right on the brink of WW I. It just feels so dramatically different. Idk.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I agree... IF you know enough about English history to realize what those terms mean, what years or major world events are happening at the time, etc. A lot of people just don't have that context.

[(Anonymous)]

Edwardian is post industrial revolution. The world changed in those eighty years. Steam power, railways, iron ships, the London Underground, photography, powered flight... Regency saw just the beginnings of the ind rev. It must have been astonishing to live through.

If you were flush with cash, if not then it was hell on Earth.

[(Anonymous)]

Well they were both short eras at the beginning of the century with a lot of change happening. The fashion was more similar, being pretty column like compared to the big hoop skirts from before. In the grand scheme of history 80 years isn't that far apart.

idk. there are some similarities.

[(Anonymous)]

*boggles* Someone slept through history lessons.

[(Anonymous)]

Approximately, yes.

[(Anonymous)]

It's kind of Napoleonic vs. WWI, I believe. Prertty different.

[(Anonymous)]

That isn't what the first WW1 generals thought. "I say Favershaugh, take ten thousand men and walk slowly over open ground towards the enemy", was the type of order that got given in both conflicts.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

And wasn't the Victorian era in between them? I definitely know it came before Edwardian, because the King Edward in question was Queen Victoria's son.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes it was.

I can kinda see confusing Regency/Victorian, or Victorian/Edwardian, but leaving out the whole huge dizzying Victorian era? Ee.

[(Anonymous)]

High Victorian has an unmistakeable character all of its own. Regency and Edwardian, for all the technological changes both play into the long summer from cares feel. Just add telegrams instead of runners, and parade of coaches instead of rail carriages and charabancs*[*as per applicable to era]. You should know your history, but if you are going for only surface color then I can see them being swapped out. One thing you can never accuse the High Victoriana Era of being is similar in character and feel to light and fun.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks for pointing out the time frames. I knew Regency was a thing, but I didn't really know when it was. But my historical eras are largely based on my knowledge of period fashion and my mind kind of goes Rococo > Colonial > Victorian > Edwardian.

Eighty years in which a hell of a lot happened in terms of social and cultural change, to boot.
