It's mindboggling to contemplate, ...Hi, Celia!<br /><br />It's mindboggling to contemplate, isn't it? How much change took place in Victoria's reign alone. I think that's what finally hooked me about setting my books in that era, even though I still harbor a deep fondness for the Regency period.<br />Pamela Sherwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14089346385390151931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-23230733061631050242012-12-12T14:22:00.861-05:002012-12-12T14:22:00.861-05:00I like the 19th century for pretty much the same r...I like the 19th century for pretty much the same reason - optimistic, adventurous, constantly changing, nearly modern, but not quite ... and so many, many different and fascinating events and people! Within the space of a century, it seemed like everything changed. From candle and lamplight to gas and electricity ... from horse power to gasoline engine power ... from made by hand to made in a factory.Celia Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16261103494038415027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-57754907638142969232012-12-12T09:53:57.493-05:002012-12-12T09:53:57.493-05:00Tara, thanks!

Great book, I agree, and full of fascinating details!<br /><br />I recently rediscovered Marian Fowler's "In a Gilded Cage: From Heiress to Duchess," an in-depth study of five American heiresses who married English dukes, with mixed results. It was written a few years after "To Marry an English Lord."<br /><br />Happy holidays to you as well.Pamela Sherwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14089346385390151931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-16070797118644437412012-12-11T09:56:06.083-05:002012-12-11T09:56:06.083-05:00Very interesting post.
