- Description
- Here we see Harriet and Emma visiting the Bateses. While out on a walk, Emma and Harriet felt obliged to visit them. Miss Bates brought out a letter from her niece Jane Fairfax writing to say that she would be arriving in Highbury the following Tuesday. Emma was not excited to hear this as she found Jane Fairfax irksome. This scene occurs in chapter 19. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. The women wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines. Emma and Harriet wear bonnets. Bonnets were a popular fashion for women who wanted to protect their faces from the sun while out on walks. 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.
