Greg Jenner is joined by guests Prof Sally Holloway and comedian Caraid Lloyd in the long 18th century to explore Georgian love and courtship. Forget Bridgerton and allow us to guide you through a typical courtship in the Georgian era - a time when penning a love letter was a serious commitment whilst sweets and spoons were considered flirtations of the highest order!

Hello and welcome to you're dead to me, the radio four comedy podcast that takes history seriously.
My name is Greg Jenner.
I'm a public historian, author and broadcaster.
And today we are channeling our inner coden firths and emerging soaking wet from the lake of history to bring you a special Valentine's Day guide to love and courtship Georgian Britain.
And to help us navigate this topic with sense and sensibility, we have two very special guests in history corner.
She's a vice chancellor's research fellow in history and history of art at Oxford Brookes University, where she studies the history of gender and emotions in 18th and 19th century Britain.
Indeed, she's the author of the game of love in georgian courtship, emotions and material culture.
Perfect for us.
