By tomorrow we'll be on British Summer Time, which is an hour ahead of GMT, so for us, Clarissa is at 3pm BST, which is 2pm GMT.<br /><br />Very interesting comments about Libertinism, thanks!Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376140366271459875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-3670381076649550692010-03-27T14:11:31.965+01:002010-03-27T14:11:31.965+01:00To actually see a Libertine in action watch both J...To actually see a Libertine in action watch both Johnny Depp as The Libertine in the film of the same name. It is based in the original period of 1660's and is based on actual person who could be deemed as the first libertine. Follow this up with Sean Bean in the TV costume drama of Clarissa, like Richard Armitage he allows you to sympathise with Lovelace, as well at the same time loathing him. I am a little biased when it comes to both Sean and Richard as I think they are both wonderful actors and both have great voices for talking books etc. I currently listening to Sylvester: The Wicked Uncle another Georgette Heyer.<br />Enjoy my recommendations and I look forward to your next RA post.ElleJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501213129484773599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-36421202435912137722010-03-27T07:23:26.035+01:002010-03-27T07:23:26.035+01:00What an interesting in-depht examination on the su...What an interesting in-depht examination on the subject of libertines, MG.

I've always been fascinated with libertinism. Libertines are ones you cannot escape especially in biographies about aristocrats in Georgian/Regency era. They flourish in a society that takes gambling and drinking and womanizing to an excess. Fascinating society, really.... And then they have the audacity to judge others and shun them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-91276424355925104262010-03-27T00:53:54.757+01:002010-03-27T00:53:54.757+01:00Oh, I am so glad that you like Georgette Heyer'...Oh, I am so glad that you like Georgette Heyer's books! They really are treasures! I used to read her books quite a bit as a young person, and then I guess I ran out of them and moved on, but it was great to revisit Venetia at Christmas time. And of course, I can't wait to get the audio book!! (And I've never wanted an audiobook before!) My, what this obsession brings us to do!
