Description
-
Here we see Mr. Crawford putting Fanny's shawl over her shoulders. Fanny, Edmund, Sir Thomas, and Lady Bertram went to visit Dr. And Mrs. Grant, for dinner while Mr. And Miss Crawford were staying with them. By this time, Mr. Crawford had decided he wanted to make Fanny fall in love with him. While they were leaving, Edmund retrieved Fanny’s shawl from the servant, but Mr. Crawford quickly took it from him to wrap around Fanny in an attempt to woo her. This scene occurs in chapter 25 on page 226. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Fanny wears the regency style dress with an empire waist. Her dress has short sleeves as was the style for women’s evening wear. Her hair is worn tied up, as was tradition for women after their coming out before the queen, signaling her entrance into society. Mr. Crawford wears a waistcoat and tailcoat, and breeches that stop at the knee. 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.
