A New Website for Historical Researchers...
The editor of Writing-World.com is pleased to announce a new website for anyone conducting historical research on the Victorian and Edwardian periods: Mostly-Victorian.com!
Mostly-Victorian.com is a growing archive of articles from Victorian and Edwardian articles. At present we're focusing on archiving the complete Victorian period of the women's lifestyle magazine Girl's Own Paper (1880-1901) and the early issues of The Strand (which launched in 1881). Articles cover such topics as fashion, history, royalty, home decor, cooking, household tips, dealing with services, etiquette, social issues, Victorian London, the countryside, nature, gardening, world travel and cultures, women's issues and more. As of March 2010 the site offers more than 700 Victorian articles and classic short stories. It's not just research; it's fun!
Special Update: We've just uploaded our entire collection of Girl's Own Paper annuals (23 volumes) as e-books at http://www.mostly-victorian.com/books/index.shtml.
And just for writers, here's a look at the advice the wife of a Victorian editor gave would-be (female) writers of 1881... pretty much the same advice we're offering now!
