Does Bridgerton Get the Regency Right? Secret Historical Codes

Dearest Gentle Reader, Welcome to a special deep dive on Bridgerton at the Antilibrary Podcast! Today, we are stepping into the shimmering (and sometimes toxic) world of Bridgerton to separate historical facts from "Regencycore" fiction. Have you ever wondered why the Featheringtons wear such "tacky" neon greens? It turns out those colors were the height of fashion—and they were often created using arsenic. From the "on dit" (gossip) of the Ton to the secret language of flowers and fashion, we explore how the show captures the spirit of the Regency era while adding its own modern, orchestral-pop twist. But can we really get the rake without syphilis or the splendor without colonialism? Let's find out! We also discuss: 1. The real history of Lady Whistledown’s scandal sheets. 2. How fashion palettes like "Bridgerton Blue" and Penelope’s "Jonquil" yellow tell a hidden story of status and envy. 3. The dark side of the era: why we want the rakes without the syphilis and the splendor without the colonialism. Mentioned in this episode: 1. Gossip by Patricia Meyer Spacks 2. Women As They Are or The Manners of the Day by Catherine Gore 3. Le Langage des Fleurs by Charlotte de La Tour 4.
