We interviewed and / or consulted (off top of head) Walter Arnstein, Matthew Sweet, David Dabydeen, Julian Fellowes, Edgar Feuchtwanger, Andrew Roberts, Tristram Hunt, Laura Ponsonby, Juliet Gardiner, Miles Taylor, Richard Aldous, Karina Urbach, Clarissa Campbell Orr, among other good and generous contributors. And read the collected diaries/letters of Victoria, Albert, Vicky, Greville and Ponsonby along with shelves of secondary sources. I'm not suggesting that you have to like the result, but hope this might reassure, somewhat ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9209331331097444102.post-31257817413358153632008-04-23T05:14:00.000+01:002008-04-23T05:14:00.000+01:00I'm still waiting for Channel 4's Edwardian season...I'm still waiting for Channel 4's Edwardian season to make it's way to America, so I'm not holding my breath for this Victorian one.Evangeline Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132593133675388609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9209331331097444102.post-29337991720896106582008-03-30T21:19:00.000+01:002008-03-30T21:19:00.000+01:00I somehow think this will be less reliable than an...I somehow think this will be less reliable than anything found in textbooks!
