While browsing my shelves for ideas for displays I came across Sheri Cobb
South's "Miss Dailey's Duenna". I know the regency paperbacks go pretty well
so I am going to try and identify authors who are in hardcover. Now I know
I could fill the display to overflowing with Marion Chesney but I would like
some other suggestions. They don't have to be strictly Regency, Georgian or
other of that ilk are fine. I may call it, "Very Proper Romance".

Thanks,

Georgette Heyer is the author who "invented" the genre of regency romance.
Your library probably has some in hardcover, since they were published from
the 1920s through the 1970s during her writing lifetime. They are the true
classics for regency readers and you would be doing those readers a favor to
introduce them. Also, don't forget Jane Austin for the antecedents of our
present-day regency genre.--kim

Aside from Georgette Heyer - and of course, Jane Austen, Patricia Veryan has
written quite a few romances which could be considered Regency, or later.
Some are interconnected. My favorite is Some Brief Folly, I believe. Mary
Jo Putney's One Perfect Rose debuted in the pocket-sized hard back format
from Ballantine. Sheila Simonson has also been published in hardcover. One
of her regencies is The Cousinly Connection. And there's also Lady Jane, a
particularly lovely regency (I have an ex-libris copy in hardcover) by Norma
Lee Clark.

If you're looking for "sweet" regencies, does your library collect any of
those published by Signet? Those were what I read when I was a young teen. I
still own my copies of Charlotte Louise Dolan's one series. For something a
little meatier, and consequently spicier, I like Julia Quinn. I don't think
that there are many regencies that are published in hardcover these days,
unless you're a major name such as Amanda Quick.

Also, don't forget to look through your large print section for regencies.
I know that some authors of "sweet" romances seem to have skipped the
regular hard-cover category completely at our library, but can be found in
hard-cover in large print.--kim

Both Laura Matthews (AKA Elizabeth Neff Walker) and Patricia Wynn are
wonderful Regency authors. Matthews was called "one of the finest Regency
romance writers" by Romantic Times Magazine, and Wynn's latest, The Birth of
Blue Satan, is truly an early-Georgian classic.

I don't know if she's precisely Regency, but Claire Rayner wrote a long
series of historical romances about a theatrical family. This was in the
'70's, so they probably appeared in hardback.

If you want to push the boundaries a bit, there's Victoria Holt, Dorothy
Eden, and Mary Stewart, all considered romance writers, all older names.
