British regency

This past week I have done a lot of thinking and reading to figure out what period of time I am more interested in. From the start, I knew that I wanted to write about the British society, mainly because I am more knowledgeable about their habits and social standing. I also decided that I would enjoy writing about a period when some war was in process...I feel it would create a great deal to write about. the Napoleon Wars seem to be a very good start..most of Europe was engaged in the war and the British felt they were liberating Europe and relieving it of a tyrant. So I have limited myself to the early 1800s which is the Regency era. I like the fact that it was a state of transition, a short period of time when so many things were uncertain. During this week, I will do some extensive research on this period and report my findings. I would like to know what the main characteristic of this period is and what caused people to behave the way they did. One other thing I have decided is that I would not particularly like to write in the style of the writers of the period. I will have to do more research on that though.
