Entertainment in the Regency
1 Entertainment In the Regency Era Delivered to the Jane Austen Club Calgary Alberta. May 18, 2013 by Ann Craig. Sir 2 When being a part of the audience at other Jasna meeting I often thought about different aspects of the world in Jane’s life and her novels. It’s great looking into different ages on the internet because there is so much information – too much sometimes, in fact, you really can get monumentally side tracked – in fact sometimes forget why you started…..right! I have included some information about the royal family and the different levels of the society because it did play role in who one associates with or not. The goings on in London with royalty got back to the smaller towns and influenced their way of life in how they entertained and who they entertained. If you had an association with members of the royal family, your position in the community would be greatly enhanced. George III in 1762, In Jane’s time, George 111 was the king with his older son George, the Prince of Wales, who later went on to being the Prince Regent and then King George 1V Families members to the king or Queen - sons, daughters brothers sisters aunts uncles etc. etc.etc.ect., were given titles so that everyone would know who they were and so understand how important they all were.- regardless of wealth, looks or intelligence. 3 Sir Walter Elliot is such a case in point. Sir Walter Elliot as played by Colin Redgrave He lives and breathes the importance of “Baronetage” the book that lists all the titled people of which he is one –it is interesting to note that his title was due to his father not for anything he did. -
What Do We Know About Beau Brummell?
Millennial Masculinities Melanie Davies University of the Arts London: London College of Fashion Keywords: Brummell, class, history, historical conjecture, hegemonic masculinity, transdisciplinarity What do we Know about Beau Brummell? Beau Brummell was an infamous figure in his day because of his close relationship with the Prince Regent - later to become George IV - and for what Virginia Woolf described as ' some curious combination of wit, of taste, of insolence, of independence'. (Woolf, 1925: np) Brummell has since been the subject of many narrative accounts of his life, one of the most recent being a BBC Television Drama, This Charming Man, adapted from a popular biography by Ian Kelly. Kelly's reading of Brummell, as a modern-day celebrity, is informed by the theoretical writing on contemporary celebrity culture. (Church-Gibson: 2011, Dyer: 2007, Turner: 2014) For fashion historians and fashion theorists, Beau Brummell is also a significant figure because he is accredited with the reinvention of menswear and thus a new version of hegemonic masculinity. While the implications of these readings of him are explored as part of a wider understanding of the cultural significance of fashion as popular culture, attitudes to fashion history, which have seen it described as 'hemline history' (Jarvis, 1998:3) ensure that Brummell is generally not considered in more 'serious' historical theorizing. Brummell is therefore largely absent from historical writings on the significant period within which he lived and died (7 July 1778 – 30 March 1840). This saw revolutionary activity throughout Europe and the collapse of the Ancien Regime in France. Hereditary monarchy in Britain, by contrast, emerged from the period in a stronger position and strengthened by an ever-expanding empire. -

To find the complete listing in the catalog, do a basic keyword search for “Plimpton collection of dramas”. Individual plays can be searched by title and author. The call number for the collection is PN6111.P5 © 2013 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 1 Plimpton Collection of Dramas INTRODUCTION THE PLIMPTON COLLECTION OF PLAYS by Curtis Canfield Originally published in the Amherst Graduates’ Quarterly, May 1932 Mr. George A. Plimpton, ’76, recently presented to the college a large collection of material relating to the English and American theatre of the nineteenth century. More than 1200 plays are represented in the collection in addition to numerous playbills, programs, libretti, histories, and after-pieces, as well as an autographed photograph of Edwin Booth as Richelieu. The collection seems to have been a part of the extensive theatrical library of Mr. Edward Boltwood of Pittsfield, whose father was born in Amherst in 1839 and moved to Pittsfield in 1870. Mr. Boltwood, although an active member of the Berkshire bar, made the theatre his avocation and found time to write a number of small pieces for the stage, one of which is included in the present collection. He was also instrumental in establishing the William Parke Stock Company in Pittsfield, and continued his connection with this company by writing reviews of its plays. -
Daniel James Cole
PERSUASIONS ON-LINE V.33, NO.1 (Winter 2012) Hierarchy and Seduction in Regency Fashion DANIEL JAMES COLE Daniel James Cole (email: [email protected]), a fashion historian who has been quoted in major national publications, teaches at New York University and Fashion Institute of Technology and has worked extensively as a costume designer. He has been published in the IFFTI Journal and the French Search Mode and is co-author of Fashion Since 1850 (Laurence King, forthcoming). DURING THE MID-TWENTIETH CENTURY, BRITISH art historian James Laver was among the first generation of “Fashion Theorists”: scholars who not only studied fashion history (itself a rather young discipline at the time) but also looked at dress within social, cultural, and psychological contexts and frameworks. Laver postulated that the motivation of dress fell into three basic categories: Utility (garments, accessories and grooming worn for a specific practical purpose); Hierarchy (garments, accessories and grooming worn to express our position and role in society); and Seduction (garments, accessories and grooming worn to beautify ourselves and attract others). Given the theme of the 2012 conference, Sex, Money and Power in Jane Austen’s Fiction, the Utility principle need not concern us, and discussion of practical fashions such as pockets and pelerines may find their way into a different paper. Laver’s principles of Hierarchy and Seduction, however, certainly provide an excellent lens through which to view Regency fashion. Although Laver’s matrix may have its flaws, expressing socioeconomic status and displaying sexual attractiveness are both universal aspects of fashion throughout history. These themes are evident in examples dating back to the earliest organized societies, including Sumer and Egypt. -
