Regency Aesthetics: The Costumes, Locations, and Décor of Bridgerton

Description

When Bridgerton hit streaming services in December 2020, history enthusiasts everywhere asked the question: How historically accurate is it? In this virtual lunchtime lecture, Michelle Fitzgerald, curator of the Johns Hopkins University Museums, will talk about the material world of the show and what it might be able to teach us about the real early 19th century.

Michelle Fitzgerald is curator at the Johns Hopkins University Museums Homewood Museum and Evergreen Museum & Library. With research interests predominately focused on late 18th- and early 19th-century interiors in England and the Chesapeake, she has previously worked with collections including the Maryland Historical Society, the Maryland State Archives, and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. She holds an M.A. from the University of Delaware's Winterthur Program in American Material Culture.
