So, what comes between Elizabethan and Georgian? And where does Samuel Richardson and "Clarissa" fall in? Are the Romantic Poets (Shelley, Keats et al.) from the Georgian era?
I could probably be looking this up myself, but I'm feeling lazy.
Going back to the new P&P, the wardrobes and the scenery from the trailer seemed distinctly Brontëfied, to quote Mr. Lane, all wild billowing skirts on some windswept heath-covered hill. I *think* there were some Empire waist dresses, but the square-neck heaving bosom-ness was less apparent.
The Baroque period is before Roccoco.
Here's the official film website (warning: it has music; un-warning: it's some pretty little possibly period pianoforte piece, not Collide). Most of the photos are close-ups of faces with an occasional glimpse of shoulder, but there is a scrap of costume info available if you select "Jane Bennet" from the
Characters
menu near the bottom of the screen. From Jane's page there's a link to a bunch of costume sketches. Which look pretty darn classically Regency (except Lady Catherine, whose costume looks older, but that's handwavey as "old cranky lady, still dressing as in her days of youth and glory").
Although Nutty's point about it not being 'real" is probably good because I doubt that it is set in the Rococo period (think Dangerous Liasons ish) and everything else is shadings of Regency/Empire

They were there, but they were the ones ousted by the Restoration. Buh-bye! Go bug some other country with your freakass religiosity!
Oh wait, they did.
Ahhh, so "The Restoration" was a period of its own (now I'm starting to vaguely remember.) I think the whole powdered wig and men wearing make-up and satin brocades had The Restoration and Georgian period confused or conflated in my mind.
I've just been to the Official Site of the film. Matthew M. is just so pretty. Brooood, pretty Matthew, brood! *sigh*
