Claire Fenby's video: Let s talk about the 18th Century The history behind Bridgerton Claire Fenby

Like so many other period drama (and Jane Austen) geeks I binge watched Bridgerton and now I'm here to nerd out about the long Eighteenth-Century, print culture & scandal - the real life history of the hit regency romance 🗞️☕ I had a lot of fun revisiting my old 18th Century MA reading list and university research to make this vlog/video essay so I really hope you find it interesting.
