The London Season in general, and the Sunday Church Parade in particular, are splendid concepts that I will come back to again and again.

(I haven't heard of it before, and I can't find anything on their website.) I have a few more places in town to check, but I might just decide to order the books eventually anyway. I understand your need to use them since you write historical romance - I want to learn more because I read historical romance! Most authors give enough information to really get a clear picture of what life is really like for the characters, but I am still curious about so many things! I would be very interested in any posts in which you focus on these books. Thanks for your response! Hello Evangeline,

The books I listed are quite pricey and while I am fortunate that my interlibrary loan carried them (have you checked to see if your library system had ILL?), I did eventually buckle down after a zillion check-outs and paid about $20-30 for each since I do utilize them extensively (I write historical romance). I don't think I could recommend any other books or websites since the reason why I count them a bargain are because they are so thorough and detailed on a subject most social history books are very vague about or ignore (lumping it all into the Victorian era, or because of the Jane Austen craze, focusing only on the Regency era). What I can do is create specific posts focusing on the contents of the book. Hi Selena,

I've checked our local library, but those titles aren't in stock. Are there any other books or websites that you could suggest with similar information? I'm reading purely for curiosity, so I really can't spend a fortune.

But I've found The Social Calendar quite useful, especially as it gives the social happenstance in 1897 and my WIP is in 1897! And am looking forward to reading the other two books as well.
