Regency

Regency literature is generally set during the period of the English Regency or early 19th century. Rather than simply being versions of contemporary stories transported to a historical setting, Regency novels are a distinct genre with their own plot and stylistic conventions that derive from the works of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, and from the fiction genre known as the novel of manners. 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
Your fate is writ clear; you will be murdered. I cannot conceive how it comes about that you were not murdered long since!" "How odd! Charles himself once said that to me, or something like it!" "There is nothing odd in it; any sensible man must say it! ...more
Georgette Heyer, The Grand Sophy

For all the largesse of my mind’s colony where a vividly enflamed man would take off each of the precious stones and melt away the cast, his success ultimately lay in being nice to me, being nice to himself irrespective of the behavior of each; of being proud of me and of himself irrespective of worldly success; holding me in regard with an almost primitive sense of courage, irrespective of the purity of my body or spirit.
Noorilhuda, The Governess
