Hello! Recently I read Vanity Fair and I absolutely loved it. Somehow, I'd managed to stay utterly ignorant of the fact that it begins during the Regency era, a period which I have great interest in. So, frightened that I might have missed similar gems, I'm looking for books set during the long Regency. I'll define the period by historian Ben Wilson's reckoning: 1789 to 1837.

I'm hoping for recommendations along the lines of Middlemarch, War and Peace, The Red and the Black, Eugene Onegin, and Père Goriot. So far I've found The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Cranford but in these cases I'm not even certain they fit my time window. Specific dates are hard to find online. Plus, every Google search I've done gives me about a thousand hits for books of the "Regency romance" genre...!

Friends have recommended Fanny Burney, Maria Edgeworth, and Walter Scott's one 19th century-set novel, St. Ronan's Well. But I'd love to venture beyond Britain too.

Any recommendations? All help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Try this link. Ignore the modern regency part :)

Perfect, I've found some new authors from that page. Thank you, Jamie :)

Pride and Prejudice, Emma, or anything by Jane Austen really :)
