Bridgerton is a series of eight Regency romance novels written by Julia Quinn.[1][2][3] Released from 2000 to 2006, it follows the eight siblings of the noble Bridgerton family as they navigate London high society in search of love, adventure and happiness.[4]

The novels have been adapted by Shondaland into a television series titled Bridgerton which premiered in 2020 on Netflix.[5]

Background

Set between 1813 and 1827, each novel features one of the eight children of the late Viscount Bridgerton and his widow Violet: Anthony, who is the current Viscount Bridgerton, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth. The Bridgerton family are part of British nobility and are a well respected, immensely loving, and tight-knit clan favored among high society.

"The Bridgertons are by far the most prolific family in the upper echelons of society. Such industriousness on the part of the viscountess and the late viscount is commendable, although one can find only banality in their choice of names of their children. Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth – orderliness is, of course, beneficial in all things, but one would think that intelligent parents would be able to keep their children straight without needing to alphabetize their names."

— Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, The Duke and I

Reception

Critical response

People ranked The Viscount Who Loved Me, a perennial fan favorite, as the best book of the Bridgerton series for its enemies-to-lovers trope "full of banter and chemistry" with character development for the central couple, "both as a pair and on their own."[7]

The Duke and I was criticized for the inclusion of non-consensual sex between Simon and Daphne which amounted to marital rape.[8][9] Critics pointed out that it failed to acknowledge the difficulties of male victims of rape, especially since Simon was traumatized after the event.[10][11]

On the Way to the Wedding won the Romance Writers of America RITA Award in 2007.[12] In 2002, To Sir Phillip, With Love was named one of the six best mass market original novels of the year by Publishers Weekly.[13]

Sales

Well-received when they were first published, the novels received a surge on book sales when the Netflix series Bridgerton premiered its first season in December 2020, and again, for its second season in March 2022. Several titles in the series have been on The New York Times bestseller list, including at several weeks #1 with The Duke and I and The Viscount Who Loved Me.[14][15]

Other associated books
