About Regency era in brief
The Regency in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland lasted from 1795 to 1837. The Prince Regent ruled as his proxy, as prince regent, until his death in 1820. The Regency is noted for its elegance and achievements in the fine arts and architecture. The population boom created a wild, roiling, volatile, and vibrant scene. In many ways, there was a dark counterpart to the beautiful and fashionable sectors of England of this time. In the dingier, less affluent areas of London, thievery, womanising, gambling, the existence of rookeries, and constant drinking ran rampant.
The gap in the hierarchy of society was so great that those of the upper classes could be viewed by those below as wondrous and fantastical fiction, something entirely out of reach yet tangibly there. The formation of the Regency after the retirement of George III saw the end of a more pious and reserved society, and gave birth to a more frivolous, ostentatious one.
