Description
-
In this image the Bennet sisters walk back to Longbourn, accompanied by Mr. Wickham and another soldier. The sisters met them while in Meryton and Mr. Wickham said he would accompany them back home. Lizzy saw this as a good opportunity to introduce him to her parents. This scene occurs in chapter 21. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. The Bennet sisters wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines and bonnets to protect their faces from the sun. Mr. Wickham and his fellow soldier wear the double-breasted soldiers’ uniform. The regency period dated to the early nineteenth century (1811-1820) when George, Prince of Wales, later George IV (r. 1820-1830), reigned as regent for his mentally ill father, King George III (r. 1760-1820). The regency period is associated with the rise of neoclassicism in art and fashion.
