Book excerpt: The stunning, full-color, behind-the-scenes look at Shondaland’s hit series on Netflix. Inside Bridgerton is the intimate behind-the-scenes story of the hit Shondaland series on Netflix. Shondaland executive producers Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers offer exclusive insights, and introduce you to the series writers, producers, directors, cast, crew, and talented creatives who brought Julia Quinn’s beloved novels to the screen. Full-color and beautifully designed, Inside Bridgerton is the official book about the show, and includes never-before-seen photographs, firsthand accounts on casting, insight into the decisions behind the costumes and sets, directors’ accounts on filming your favorite scenes, and more from the creative minds that launched a cultural phenomenon. From the Introduction to Inside Bridgerton: SHONDA: Shall we take everyone back to the beginning? Not to the 1800s, but to 2017 and that hotel room where I was sick, and needed something to read, and there happened to be a copy of The Duke & I by Julia Quinn, the first of the Bridgerton novels. I’m not someone who was into romance novels—I really didn’t even know much about the genre. But I picked it up, couldn’t put it down, and then immediately got my hands on the rest of them because they were a fabulous read. And then I passed them to you. BETSY: I thought you might have hit your head in the hotel room when you had the flu. Romance novels? But you insisted that they would be a fabulous show and you have excellent taste. I was deeply skeptical because I hadn’t read a romance novel since I was a teen—I’d certainly never read a period romance novel. SHONDA: Totally—you read the ones of the 1980s, when everyone wore huge shoulder pads and diamonds. BETSY: Right. So there’s some continuity here because these guys were wearing diamonds, too. SHONDA: Fair—but as far as a period romance, I mean, if it wasn’t Jane Austen, I didn’t really know about it. I’m not going to diss Jane Austen because I’m not an idiot… BETSY: She might get upset. SHONDA: She might roll over in her grave. But Julia Quinn’s novels were just so much juicier than Austen, and they’re written by someone who was far less confined and less proper. After all, Julia is a modern woman, not stuck in the constraints of the age. BETSY: Without a doubt. And I never knew that the ton existed: Austen wrote about a pastoral society where everyone is in relatively drab clothes and spent a lot of time in chapels and churches. SHONDA: Totally. And they recycled their dresses more. BETSY: Meanwhile, this was an amazing world of luxury and excess. And she had this crazy device of a gossip columnist, pulling the strings, which was such a cool concept. Julia Quinn created an entirely new, glamorous, bright world that you had actually never seen before.

Book excerpt: Bridgerton is the runaway Netflix success that has captured the hearts and imaginations of its biggest ever global audience. Producers Chris Van Dusen and Shonda Rhimes have ripped up the Regency drama rulebook to create a series that speaks to a modern audience. Apart from the intense sexual chemistry, inspired casting and a lavish costume budget, what sets Bridgerton apart is the extensive use of location shooting. Step forward Bath: the Georgian architectural jewel gets to play many different parts of fashionable London. Bridgerton’s Bath takes you on a tour of all these locations from No.1 The Royal Crescent (the Featherington’s house on Grosvenor Square) to Abbey Green (Covent Garden) and the Abbey Deli (Modiste couturier) on Abbey Street. Bridgerton intersects with Jane Austen’s world at the Assembly Rooms where one of the early balls takes place, while the 18th-century Bath Guildhall also gets a place on the series’ dance card. A key character in the drama is Lady Danbury, played by Adjoa Andoh, and her grand mansion is Bath’s former Sydney Hotel, today the Holburne Museum. Gunter’s Tea Room was a celebrated London patisserie and in Bridgerton it can be found on Trim Street. Many Bath streets feature regularly, including Beauford Square, a place for regular carriage trips and the Royal Crescent, which in Series One, reverberated to the sound of galloping hooves as our heroine (or her stunt double) raced to stop a duel. The book includes a feature on how the series was filmed in the city, and includes a detailed map so you can follow your own Bridgerton Walking Tour of this beautiful city, which has more to offer besides.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,0, University of Leipzig (Institut für Anglistik), course: Screen Cultures: Understanding Film and Television, language: English, abstract: Since the Black Lives Matter movement regained global popularity in the summer of 2020, racial equality became a prominent issue in the media. Shortly after, Shonda Rhimes’ post-heritage drama Bridgerton, based on Julia Quinn’s romance novels, was produced by Shondaland, and released on the streaming platform Netflix in December 2020. Since racial issues had been dominating the media, a possible reason for the series’ immense popularity might be its multiracial cast. Bridgerton, whose fictitious storyline is set in London during Britain’s Regency era in 1813, tries to create an alternative historical past in which people of colour are not being victimized because of their skin tone. It can be assumed that in such an alternative history the characters must start on an equal footing, regardless of their skin colour (Romano). However, it turns out that the series is not clear about what message it wants to bring across, since the racial identities of black characters are almost entirely muted leaving the series as one that opts for escapism over a nuanced exploration of real-time racial dynamics (Tillet). Even as people of colour and other marginal groups of society have gained more visibility in the American film industry, they are still subject to discrimination and severely underrepresented in television (Hunt and Ramón). Considering that racism describes “policies, behaviours, rules etc. that result in a continued unfair advantage to some people ... based on race”, the purpose of this essay is to reveal racist aspects about the series (“racism”). Although Bridgerton tries to represent people of colour progressively by casting diverse actors, the series creates the opposite effect by concealing relevant racial issues, destroying the idea of a black solo reigning queen, and by silencing and stereotyping black characters negatively.

Book excerpt: There were Bridgertons before the eight alphabetically named siblings. In the fourth of the Bridgerton prequel series, following The Other Miss Bridgerton, we go back to where it all began. . . from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn She was given two choices... Georgiana Bridgerton isn’t against the idea of marriage. She’d just thought she’d have some say in the matter. But with her reputation hanging by a thread after she’s abducted for her dowry, Georgie is given two options: live out her life as a spinster or marry the rogue who has ruined her life. Enter Option #3 As the fourth son of an earl, Nicholas Rokesby is prepared to chart his own course. He has a life in Edinburgh, where he’s close to completing his medical studies, and he has no time—or interest—to find a wife. But when he discovers that Georgie Bridgerton—his literal girl-next-door—is facing ruin, he knows what he must do. A Marriage of Convenience It might not have been the most romantic of proposals, but Nicholas never thought she’d say no. Georgie doesn’t want to be anyone’s sacrifice, and besides, they could never think of each other as anything more than childhood friends... or could they? But as they embark upon their unorthodox courtship they discover a new twist to the age-old rhyme. First comes scandal, then comes marriage. But after that comes love...
