While Bridgerton may not be a historically accurate portrayal of the Regency era, it does inject a sense of creativity and imagination into the story. The series is built upon a fictional foundation, courtesy of Quinn’s novels, which were themselves inspired by author Georgette Heyer’s version of the Regency era. Historians have acknowledged that Bridgerton’s core facts are rooted in reality, making it an immersive and engaging experience.
