Look at Gaskell's other work, Wives and Daughters, can we say more prejudice!

I was just as shocked to read, in my 10th Grade U.S. History text, that over 1/3 of the marriages in the Civil War era were shotgun weddings! <br /><br />Also, I have to tell you a BIG, BIG (this font would be 1000-point if it could be!) thank you for your book recommendations! In particular, I loved Wildwood Dancing -- it was so wonderfully vivid for me! I loved the Dragutsa (I'm sorry there's not the right letter and I had to write it out) parts -- I majored in Russian, and she was so much like Baba Yaga for me. I could go on and on... but you have work to do! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4232639346497420305.post-60891816916536152262008-09-15T07:04:00.000-06:002008-09-15T07:04:00.000-06:00Although I've always been more interested in the R...Although I've always been more interested in the Regency period, I also really like Victorian and YES!
