September at the Academe
A quick look at the Academe classes coming up next month.
This course will look at major world events in the extended regency period, and the ways in which those events affected people in Regency England, and the greater British Empire.
It will be in four basic sections:
- Events in England
- Events in the British Empire worldwide outside England itself
- Events in the ‘rest of the world’
- The impact of those events, both short and long term.
And will finish with some discussion about how all of that might be reflected in your stories, and ways that it might challenge your ideas.

I don’t know about you, but there is not a single day that goes by when I don’t wish that I had my own cook.
Or do I mean housemaid? Or scullery maid? What exactly is the difference between a footman and an under-footman, anyway, and is it true that most Regency houses had more servants for outside than inside? Whether you writing romance and need a handy maid to chaperone, you write mysteries and need a stable lad to have witnessed the murder, or you’re just trying to untangle whether a solicitor, a groundskeeper, a steward, or a man of business would collect rents, you’ve come to the right place. It’s time to talk domestic servants.
Over two weeks, USA Today Bestselling Author Emily E K Murdoch will take you through this informative course focusing on the myriad domestic servants, and just how they interacted with the Regency world. This course is designed to be as accessible and intersectional as possible.
