Edith Hamilton is used a lot in college -- they're retold well, but without any energy. Still, a good source. I'd really start at the kid's section of the library. Kid's books will get you up to speed fast, and help you decide what you're really interested in.<br /><br />For the 1900's I should be a whiz but my DH died recently and I'm not back into writing yet. I think there's a series called "Everyday life in the 1890's" or whatever. I liked it a lot. Get a copy of the Sears catalog from that time, they're easy to find and you learn a lot. Anne Perry's Charlotte Pitt books are set in London, but the details are very accurate. I think the movie "Life with Father" fits, and "Meet me in St. Louis". <br />There are tons of websites on this. Start with the History Channel and branch out from there. They also have documentaries and such that might help.<br />As for Southern Belles, I can only think of GWTW. Try searching Netflix to see what they have.<br />I hope this helps get you going. If you need more ideas, feel free to ask. You can leave me a comment on my blog http"//abookwithaview.blogspot.com.<br />Have fun.Teri Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03999534282021701036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466401538122956759.post-73738733567412837802009-07-22T13:26:18.287-05:002009-07-22T13:26:18.287-05:00Angels:
