Rather than simply being versions of contemporary romance stories transported to a historical setting , Regency romances are a distinct genre with their own plot and stylistic conventions . These derive not so much from the 19th - century contemporary works of Jane Austen , but rather from Georgette Heyer , who wrote over two dozen novels set in the Regency starting in 1935 until her death in 1974 , and from the fiction genre known as the novel of manners . In particular , the more traditional Regencies feature a great deal of intelligent , fast - paced dialog between the protagonists and very little explicit sex or discussion of sex . - Georgette Heyer (16 August 1902 4 July 1974) was an English historical romance and detective fiction novelist.

The couple spent several years living in Tanganyika Territory and Macedonia before returning to England in 1929.

For the rest of her life, she refused to grant interviews, telling a friend: "My private life concerns no one but myself and my family." - Jane Austen (16 December 1775 18 July 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century.

Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. - Tanganyika was a sovereign state that existed from 9 December 1961 until 22 April 1964, first gaining independence from the United Kingdom as a Commonwealth realm, then becoming a republic within the Commonwealth of Nations exactly a year later.

As such, the narrative structure of the novel of manners recreates a social world (civil, military, political, business) and shows the spheres of public and private life sufficiently to convey the dominance of social-code mores upon the personal and public lives of the people in the story. The detailed observation of the values and customs of a social-class society, thematically dominate the story. The characters are differentiated by measures of "success" and failure; by the degree to which he or she meets the standard of uniform social behaviour; and by the degree to which each character fails at uniformity in language, thought, and action. - The Black Moth (1921) is a Georgian era romance novel by the British author Georgette Heyer, set around 1751.
