Not that there weren't some wonderful things written, painted, composed, etc. during this time, but we shouldn't just wholesale accept anything produced during this era as good when a lot of it is definitely not. <br /><br />BTW -I've just begun reading a biography of Elizabeth Prentiss, a woman I greatly admire who lived during this era. The author, Sharon James does a good job from what I've read so far in analyzing how her era affected her.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407636240006454920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9283473.post-69495466868847363932011-03-07T15:55:12.120-05:002011-03-07T15:55:12.120-05:00My favorite part of this post is your admission th...My favorite part of this post is your admission that you are not give to all things Victorian.

I added the link to this post on my blog.<br /><br />When I am making lunch, I often find some object in the kitchen (tape measure, paper towel holder) to prop open our little vintage spelling book. As I am chopping, shredding, or stirring something in a pot, the children are doing their oral and written spelling lists :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07846813512846226432noreply@blogger.com
