December 2012: Edwardian Era 101

So you’ve watched Downton Abbey, read the companion book, and scoured your library for other Edwardian sources, perhaps out of new love for the period, or even better, a desire to write a novel set within the period. Yet, there is so much you don’t know and so many books, websites, and videos about the period, you don’t know where to begin! You could start by just reading and hoping to absorb as much information as possible, but then again, that story idea is just burning a hole in your head and you want to write ASAP. You could send emails full of questions to myself or other Edwardian experts, or you could join a history forum and bombard the members with queries, but why do that when you can take this intensive, four week course to give you the necessary footing in the setting?
