[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize this is going to enrage the "don't teach me history" people, but I'm just saw the most interesting fact.  Apparently an extremely niche historical error in Season 4 is that Benedict is actually swimming a more modern stroke, the front crawl wasn't used in Britain until later in the 1800s, someone in that era would have been swimming breast stroke.

As someone who learned to swim so young it honestly never even occurred to me that the swimming stroke we sort of consider default is pretty modern.  I could have guessed that for something like butterfly but not front crawl.[/quote]

So THIS is an interesting bit of trivia to add to the Bridgerton discussion.

Making every other post about Pamela Who Cares is not.[/quote]

OMG stop. The plot is literally lifted from Pamela.[/quote]

DP. That hasn’t been confirmed from the show’s writers though, has it?[/quote]

It doesn’t need to be confirmed ….[/quote]

It’s just a coincidence then. Also there is the Cinderella thing.[/quote]

I don’t understand what you think this conversation is about? It is an artistic/literary production in a long traditions of getting inspiration from the historical era. Of course there are myriad influences visible including common plots and novels - I mean if you didn’t see the reference to Mr Darcy in the lake (which is actually from the miniseries and not the book!) I don’t know what to tell you. Nobody is claiming that they plagiarized or whatever but the influence of various sources (Pamela, Cinderella, the BBC Pride and Prejudice) are easy to see! [/quote]

Someone said the plot was “literally lifted from Pamela” and I’m not sure that’s true.[/quote]

Ugh. Again nobody is saying that plagiarism was committed. Stop being so literal. [/quote]

It is not the same story at all anyway.

Touch grass honey.[/quote]
