# Characters.HonorHarringtonManticore: FantasyCounterpartCulture: RegencyEngland, and more specifically the Age of Sail. Gryphon and Sphinx, the other planets in the Manticorian system, are Scotland and Wales.



# Film.TheAmazingMrBlunden: Sara and Georgie are from this period.



# Literature.JulianKestrel: featuring crime-solving [[RegencyEngland Regency-era]] dandy Julian Kestre

# Characters.RuPaulsDragRaceUKSeries4: The theme for this series' promo looks is Queen of Your Hometown, and as Brighton is famed for its Regency architecture, particularly its Royal Pavilion, (which Joe Black infamously failed to embody in Series 2), as well as its seafront promenade, she goes with an early 1800s bodice and panniers look, coloured white and turquoise green, which is an additional nod to Brighton's bold take on the classic London black cab.
# Creator.GeorgetteHeyer: Her books were famous for her intelligent comedy, the genuine sweetness of her romances and [[ShownTheirWork her meticulous research]] on the '''[[RegencyEngland Regency period]]''' - which in turn leads to ''An Infamous Army'' rather incongruously being on the recommended reading list at, of all things, Sandhurst,the UK equivalent of West Point, for its superb description of the Battle of Waterloo.



# Main.PoliticallyCorrectHistory: * Zig-zagged in ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', depending on how serious a given episode wants to be. For example, when traveling to the mid-20th century, the only one who finds himself at home is Martin Stein. The others quickly point out that it only happens because he's a straight white male. Similarly, when they end up in the South during the Civil War, Jax and Amaya have to deal with being treated as someone's property. Played straight in season four, when Mona (Asian), Charlie (black), and Zari (Middle-Eastern) have no trouble walking around in RegencyEngland.

[[folder:Works that use it to describe a setting]]

# Characters.PokemonSwordAndShield (GorgeousPeriodDress): His Battle Tower outfit is an extravagant affair that's ripped straight out of '''RegencyEngland''', from the frock coat down to the riding boots.
# Literature.{{Cotillion}}: The book is set in 1816. '''[[gold:PCE]]'''
# Literature.TheReluctantWidow: The book is set in 1813. '''[[gold:PCE]]'''
# Main.BritsLoveTea: In the RegencyEngland-inspired ''Webcomic/TheWolfAtWestonCourt'':
** The police officer who is [[PoliceAreUseless supposed to be guarding]] Loup [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy leaves to make him a cup of tea]], since he's TryingNotToCry.
** At the end of Chapter 2, Bernard makes Neville a cup of tea without even asking.
# Main.OurFairiesAreDifferent: ''Literature/JonathanStrangeAndMrNorrell'' takes TheFairFolk and adjusts them to fit the '''[[RegencyEngland Georgian-era]]''' setting. The basic concept, as [[FootnoteFever one of the many easy-to-miss footnotes]] explains, is that logic and magical ability are diametrically opposed; humans have great powers of logic and very little magical skill, while Faeries have tremendous magical power but most of them would be considered severely mentally ill by human standards. Accordingly, they don't even need wings since they can travel wherever on Earth they want via the King's Roads, and they wear clothes that are made of broken dreams or are "[[FictionalColor the color of heartbreak]]" or that sing or scream. They also have tremendous powers that no human can fight while simultaneously having a wide variety of {{Weaksauce Weakness}}es, and are shown to stay out of human affairs less for the standard reasons than because they just don't care -- they'd rather be at their all-night balls. In other words, they're a ShadowArchetype of what human British society was like at the time.

# Recap.DoctorWhoS38E8TheHauntingOfVillaDiodati: Although the episode is set in Switzerland, the costumes fit this era of history.
# Series.{{Belgravia}}: The first chapter takes place in 1815, just before the Battle of Waterloo.
# VideoGame.MatchesAndMatrimony: The time period during which the original novel took place, though it is implied that the visual novel itself may actually take place during UsefulNotes/VictorianBritain.



# Recap.BobChipmanFilmReviewsPToR: (''Literature/PrideAndPrejudiceAndZombies''_: Using the same concept of 'How can we stretch one joke into a whole movie?' as the same author's ''Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter'', this film comes up short in comparison. Despite a few moments of genuine inspiration and big laughs, there's not a lot of connective tissue between them. In particular, it ignores a lot of the satirical potential present in having a ZombieApocalypse take place in the world of a Creator/JaneAusten novel, especially given that ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'' itself commented quite heavily on the rigid social mores and classism of '''RegencyEngland'''. It's not a bad movie (Austen fans especially will probably enjoy it for all the references to the original book), but there's not enough to it to make a full watch worthwhile.

Well, it's actually a guy named Sanjay, who gathered the real Kamadeva's ashes after he was immolated by Vishnu. Sanjay can use Kamadeva's ashes to remove people's impulse control. He uses it to start a Bollywood dance number in ''RegencyEngland''. People around him can't help but start singing.
