How to Be the Ideal Regency Era Girl: Fordyce's Sermons
Ever wonder what's the book Mr. Collins tries to read Elizabeth Bennet and her sisters in Pride and Prejudice?

In this video, we talk about what these sermons are, and what they have to say about women's role in the English Georgian society Jane Austen grew up in.
