(the reddit thread `of the same name`_ by RoseIsBadWolf_)
Does anyone have some invaluable resources for writing that they
would like to share? Here are some of mine:
`Budgets that show the cost of living near Jane Austen's time`_
`Every named character in every Austen novel`_ (made these myself, excel and PDF format)
Comprehensive timelines for:
`Sense & Sensibility`_, `Mansfield Park`_, `Northanger Abbey`_,
Persuasion_, Emma_, and `Pride & Prejudice`_ (and another_)
Mollands for public domain illustrations:
https://www.mollands.net/etexts/index.html
And of course, I always have the Gutenberg project version of
every novel open on my computer for reference!
-----
`Online Etymology Dictionary`_ for checking language use.
I like to use the searchable copies of the books on `The Republic
of Pemberley`_, which also has a lot of other resources, if you
look around.
The Regency Encylopedia, alas, has been down for some time, but
`Jane Austen's World`_ often has good information, and an old,
little-known blog that's great for historical research is the
`Regency Redingote`_.
-----
I use https://idiomsorigins.com to check whether an idiom or turn
of phrase would be era appropriate. However, I've been surprised
sometimes by idioms that aren't there.
https://Georgette-heyer.com/slang for regency cant and
expressions.
I also have Louise Allen's book “Regency Slang Revealed”
that organizes and indexes `Grose's Dictionary of the Vulgar
Tongue`_. This book is so interesting and kind of hilarious!
I write in British English, so I use
https://dictionary.cambridge.org to check British spelling if I'm
unsure.
