I had a show I wanted to do about five reasons why the English Regency is an excellent setting for lesbian romance novels, with examples of five books that take advantage of those reasons. I didn't have a good place to schedule it on my own show, but Tara invited me onto her show, Les Do Books. Here are the show notes and link:
Aired June 8, 2018
In this episode of Les Do Books, Tara is joined by Heather Rose Jones, author, reviewer at The Lesbian Review, and host of the Lesbian Historic Motif Project. Heather has 5 reasons why the English Regency is the perfect setting for romances between women, and book recommendations to back them up.
Check out the reasons and books she discussed here:
- Romantic friendship between women: Pembroke Park by Michelle Martin
- A surplus of women: Frederica and the Viscountess by Barbara Davies
- No psychoanalysis: Spring Flowering by Farah Mendlesohn
- Gender-segregated socializing: The Sisterhood by Penelope Friday
- A wealth of real-life historic role models: The Covert Captain: or A Marriage of Equals by Jeannelle M. Ferreira
