Tumblrstorians! (is that a thing? I’m making it a thing)

I’ve just finished the mega epic Poldark saga, I’m still waiting for Versailles series 2 and I’m on the hunt for some decent non-fictions books re: Regency England or Enlightenment France/Louis XIV/Palace of Versailles. I’m totally new to Regency era England since I’ve typically never strayed past the late 1600s so I’m looking for a place to start (I’m on a Poldark high and I never ever wanna come down); as for Versailles, I’m always on the hunt for books written about Philippe d’Orleans but I’ve read the only biography in English. I’m open for pretty much anything that I’ve not yet read.

Hit me up with recommendations!!!!
