That's my impression too. I believe Bright Star is set a little later
than the usual Regency era (c. 1820), but that's still a time when
gentlemen would have been wearing sideburns, not beards.

The other week I watched the film "Bright star" on TV. I loved the
costumes, especially Fanny Brawne's high-fashion Regency outfits, but I
found Charles Brown's beard incongruous. Surely a gentleman would not have
worn a full beard in that era? I always understood that they came back into
fashion in the mid-19th century.
