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 &ampI by Julia
Quinn, the first of the Bridgerton novels. I&#8217mnot
someone who was into romance novels&#8212Ireally
didn&#8217teven know much about the genre. But I picked it
up, couldn&#8217tput 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&#8217tread a romance novel since I
was a teen&#8212I#8217d certainly never read a period
romance novel. SHONDA: Totally&#8212yo read the ones of
the 1980s, when everyone wore huge shoulder pads and
diamonds. BETSY: Right. So there&#8217some continuity
here because these guys were wearing diamonds, too.
SHONDA: Fair&#8212bu as far as a period romance, I mean,
if it wasn&#8217tJane Austen, I didn&#8217treally know about
it. I&#8217mnot going to diss Jane Austen because
I&#8217mnot an idiot&#8230BETSY: She might get upset.
SHONDA: She might roll over in her grave. But Julia
Quinn&#8217novels were just so much juicier than Austen,
and they&#8217rewritten 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.
