June 2025 at the Academe
A Quick Look at the Academe classes coming up next month.
Perhaps no subject in Regency Fiction is as complicated and rife with misconceptions and ideas gleaned from the writings of past and present fiction set in this era than the rites, traditions, and rituals of courtship, marriage, and divorce in the years between 1780 and 1840.
The class will endeavor to separate fact from fiction in subjects like courtship rituals, engagement practices, elopements, wedding celebrations, all of the necessary legal paperwork, breaking an engagement, widowhood, separations (legal and otherwise,) and even the possibility of annulment and/or divorce.
This class will endeavor to delineate those practices documented in extant resources as to the rites, rules, procedures, rituals, traditions, and legal mechanics of the era pertaining to courtship, engagement, necessary paperwork, possibilities in breaking engagements, marriage, annulment, widowhood, and even divorce.
From the simplest rules and practices of courtship to the highly difficult but possible achievement of divorce this class will cover the unique and sometimes changing aspects of this important part of Regency love and life.
This workshop will go into detail about seasonal foods.
