Women in Regency England had few rights and their main purpose was to get married, after which their legal status "disappeared". They spent their youth focusing on accomplishments to make them desirable brides. Men had much more freedom and rights, and chose wives based on wealth and status. Both sexes worked to elevate their social class, as marriage was nearly the only way for women to gain financial security, while wealthier men had more marriage prospects.

REGENCY GEORGIAN ARCHITECTURE BY FAY KRALLI.pptxVivi Carouzou
Georgian architecture refers to the set of architectural styles prevalent in England between 1714 and 1830, during the reigns of the first four British monarchs of the House of Hanover. Characteristics include symmetry, proportion, and restraint based on classical Greek and Roman styles. Major examples can be found in cities such as Edinburgh, Bath, Dublin, and London. The style emphasized simple mathematical ratios and was later revived as Colonial Revival architecture in the United States and Neo-Georgian architecture in Britain in the late 19th/early 20th centuries.

The high-waisted neoclassical silhouette continued to define women's fashion in the 1810s, though trim, colors, and angular skirts gradually broke up the classical lines by the end of the decade. Inspiration came from classical antiquity as well as historic periods like the Middle Ages. The Napoleonic Wars influenced fashion with military-inspired details and spread trends across Europe. By 1815, skirts had triangular shapes from gathered backs and short trains, while sleeves puffed out and decorative trims became more common, reflecting a shift to Romantic-era styles.

2. Αναζητώντας την «αόρατη» πόλη
Κων/να Λάμπρου
Είναι μια πόλη. Η γενέθλια πόλη. Μια πόλη με ηλικιωμένους
καταρράχτες ζωής. Μελαγχολική τα απομεσήμερα κάτω από τα
γενναιόδωρα αιωνόβια πλατάνια, μοναχική και νωχελική στις όχθες
του ανθισμένου ποταμού, υπέροχα πληκτική στους δείκτες του
σταματημένου σαν από άχρονους αιώνες ρολογιού. Μια πόλη που τις
άφεγγες νύχτες του καλοκαιριού διαβάζει κλειδωμένους χρησμούς
στους καθρέφτες της Λήθης και της Μνημοσύνης, που χαράζει ιερούς
ίσκιους και αρχαία νοήματα στις πέτρινες γέφυρες, στον δρόμο για
τις πεισματικές προφητείες του αμίλητου Κάστρου. Μια πόλη όπου
«μια τέτοια ομορφιά είναι από μόνη της ένας κόσμος». Πολύχρωμη
στις φωταγωγημένες προσόψεις του πεζόδρομου, πολύβουη στις
καταστόλιστες βιτρίνες των καταστημάτων, στοχαστική και
ρεμβαστική στις παμπάλαιες γωνιές της, όπου ξαναγεννιούνται τα
όνειρα από τη λάμψη της πιο εκθαμβωτικής νοσταλγίας. Μια πόλη
με τόσα και τόσο ίδια πρόσωπα και πόσα φωτισμένα συναισθήματα.
Μια πόλη βυθισμένη στα σύμβολα, εκεί όπου συναντιούνται όλα τα
αινίγματα, κι όλες τις μαντείες του μέλλοντος καιρού. Μια πόλη λιτή,
σχεδόν αθώα στις λεπταίσθητες ανταύγειες της πραγματικότητας,
ευαίσθητη στις οδυνηρές παύσεις της ζωής, μια πόλη φτιαγμένη από
αιώνιες λέξεις και από τους πιο εξαίσιους μύθους του ανθρώπινου
πεπρωμένου. Μια πόλη που αφηγείται ξανά και ξανά στους
ταξιδιώτες όλα τα μεσαιωνικά παραμύθια και τις διαμαντένιες
ιστορίες της. Μια πόλη σαν αντίσταση στη λήθη και σαν Άνοιξη μέσα
στις παγωμένες μνήμες του χειμώνα, παράξενη μέσα στη «σκοτεινή
της λευκότητα», μια πόλη που επιστρέφει ξανά και ξανά στον
αληθινό Χρόνο, τις αναλλοίωτες αισθήσεις και όλα τα μαγικά
αισθήματα. Μια πόλη με δύο πρόσωπα, γεμάτη και ταυτόχρονα
άδεια. Γεμάτη από ανθρώπους, ορατούς και αθέατους, άδεια από
αναπάντητα πρόσωπα. Μια πόλη γοητευτική στην ανέμελη
αμεριμνησία της, που καθρεφτίζεται ολοφώτεινη σε φεγγαρόφωτες
αναμνήσεις και αστραφτερούς πανάρχαιους θησαυρούς. Μια πόλη
που χαμογελά ανυποψίαστη στις μικρές και τις μεγάλες επισημάνσεις
του Αύριο. Μια πόλη με δύο, ή με πολλά πρόσωπα. Μια ωραία,
μυστική, αόρατη πόλη, που «αιωρείται διαρκώντας». Ναι, αυτή η
αόρατη πόλη, στην οποία ταξιδεύουμε, αιώνια αιχμάλωτη στην πιο
ριψοκίνδυνη ουτοπία της, είναι η δική μας πόλη.
