About

ABOUT THIS EDWARDIAN PROMENADE

Evangeline started this blog in 2007 primarily as a place to share snippets of her research, but it soon morphed into a full-blown history blog. The primary focus is on the social history of Great Britain and America between the years 1880 and 1920, but there are occasional jaunts to other countries to give a global context to the period. Technically, the Edwardian era is a period in British history lasting from 1901-1910, but not only did Edward VII leave a lasting impression on high society from the moment he came of age, but his esprit permeated the world–plus, she likes the symmetry of a forty-year period. As of now, the movement of Downton Abbey into the 1920s has pushed the focus of the blog towards the Bright Young Things era, but its heart belongs to the Edwardians.

    Nice work on the Edwardian era.
    I’ve put together a web site on the Edwardian actress – Edna May – once I started to research her, it snowballed.
    Please stop by for a visit.
    Let me know if you would like me to put a link on my site for yours.
    all the best !

    Dear Madam,
    I must ask your patience in the first as i continue to struggle with the great flexibility of contemporary technology, i hope this is an acceptable means of communication.
    I wish to ask if it would be possible to offer a link to your Blog. I am in the process of updating my website which includes a link to my own blog i should also like to offer yours to those wishing to learn more of the Edwardian. My own endeavours are artistic and though rooted in the Social and Cultural history of the Edwardian also presenting the history is out of keeping with the purpose of the site and conceptual basis for my work.
    It is with some joy i have encountered your blog and feel it should be a most beneficial resource for as many as are interested because it is so very informative.
    Please write if you are open to this arrangement, and if you could perhaps suggest some clever way in which such a link might be made i should be most grateful.
    With kindest regards,
    Anna Sullivan

    I had a good pootle around your site, great work! A truly excellent Blog about a truly fascinating period in history. I have added your blog to the list of links on my blog. If you get the chance, have a look, I write about Railway History between 1864 and 1914 most of the time.

    Keep up the good work.

      Thanks David! I will definitely check out your blog–and mark it as an excellent resource!

    I am a Victorian history major so I enjoyed this site very much. I thought I should give back because of the enjoyment I have had the past few days going through it in my spare time.

    There is a great show “Supersizers go…” and they did an Edwardian period episode that I think people would enjoy watching modern people try to live, eat and dress like Edwardians for a week (he’s a food critic and she’s a radio personality so it makes for great ‘real’ people humor).

    A comparatively small but informative book for people who are interested in Society and it’s rituals is “The Best Circles”.
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Best-Circles-Leonore-Davidoff/dp/0091687616

    There is also a website where there are free graphics and postcards from the 19th Century that I think many people would enjoy. http://www.graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/

      Thank you much, Felicia! I will definitely alert my other readers about these sources.

    Hi Evangeline! What a great theme/topic for a blog! As I study the art & history of Japan, your post on Meiji fashion was particularly interesting to me. I had some comments I wanted to share, but for some reason, the Comments box didn’t show up on that page… What’s going on?

    Thanks.

    • http://evangelineholland.com Evangeline

      Hi Travis, thanks for stopping by. I actually close my comments if posts are older than two or three months to cut down on the spam (I would battle hundreds a day when I kept them open)! However, I can reopen this particular post for you!

    Dear Evangeline,
    Your blog has been a delight and an inspiration for this scholar of British Victorian/Modern literature. Thank you for the excellent work that you do! I have linked “Edwardian Promenade” on my own blog, “Ghosts of 1914.” There, I write about British literature, arts, and culture of the Great War era. Please visit when you can and kindly consider linking too.
    All best,
    Fiona
