These stories offer a glimpse into the societal dynamics and romantic intrigues of a slightly earlier era, providing context for the events and relationships explored in the original series. For example, the series details Violet’s debut into London society and her eventual courtship with Edmund.
Understanding the chronology of these prequels enhances the reader’s appreciation of the entire Bridgerton universe. The prequels not only enrich the backstories of beloved characters but also provide a deeper understanding of the social and familial forces that shaped the Bridgerton siblings.
