Regency

Regency literature is generally set during the period of the English Regency or early 19th century.

In particular, most Regencies feature a great deal of intelligent, fast-paced dialog between the protagonists and (traditionally) very little explicit sex or discussion of sex.

Georgette Heyer
The end of the idyll was implicit in the beginning: I at least knew that, though you might not. And also that the more enchanted the idyll the greater must be the pain of its ending. That won’t endure. Hearts don’t really break, you know.
Georgette Heyer, Venetia

Mimi Matthews
Naturally he underestimated her. He knew nothing about the strength of her convictions or about the lengths she was willing to go for a noble cause.
Mimi Matthews, A Lady of Conscience
