Traditional Regency Romance
The Regency-set books published by the Fawcett Coventry line are all considered to be "trads," or traditional Regency works. The distinction rests on the genre definition of regency romance: works in the tradition of Georgette Heyer, with an emphasis on the primary romance plot, would be considered traditional. Traditional Regency romance writers usually pay close attention to historical detail, as their readers are notorious for noting errors. Authors of traditional Regency romances often do extensive research so they can clearly understand and replicate the voice of the genre.

Famous quotes containing the words traditional and/or romance:
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“The realism of failure, the romance of success.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
