I may be late to the table, but just discovered this morning a new Regency site: Nancy Mayer ~ Regency Researcher. Nancy is gradually putting all her many-years worth of Regency and Jane Austen expertise onto her website, and we will be the grateful benefactors of her knowledge. There is an excellent bibliography, a series of links, and the option to ask her any question you might have on the period.
Here is the Subject Index:
Dance & Music
Education
Law NEW!
Marriage
Medicine
Parliament & Politics
Period Publications
Peers & Peerage
Regency Fashion
Titles & Names
And remember to check back often as she continues to add information.
Thank you Nancy, for this lovely new addition to the online Regency world! [and a thank you to Susanna Ives for hosting Nancy on her website: Susanna Ives ~ Regency Romance Writer!]
Thanks, Deb, for bringing this to everyone’s attention.
This is a nice website (and can’t wait to see how it develops!), which will find many fans. I especially (surprise, surprise) like the sections on fashion, periodicals, and of course the books (books.google and internet archive). Our readers will want to take a look at the section on DANCE – then they’ll see what a treat is in store on December 7th (our Jane Birthday Tea).
Haven’t just gotten the Penelope Byrde JANE AUSTEN FASHION just last night, I am oh so happy to see the fashion ‘cards’ that depict one style from a succession of years. More! More! Nancy Mayer must have quite the collection of these types of items.
