ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if it should go in the Georgian era or Regency since it covers both.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteIm writing my dissertation on films that encourage tourism, and was wondering, does watching period and heritage films make you want to go and visit the sets and the manor houses?
Any answer would be greatly appreciated, whether short or long.
Many thanks,
Ruby
"THE DECEIVERS" is set in 1825, which is not part of the Regency era.
ReplyDelete"MASTER AND COMMANDER" and "MANSFIELD PARK" are set during the first decade of the 19th century, which was not part of the Regency era.
