An Elegant Madness: High Society in Regency England Venetia Murray seems to be unable to get her facts right. She continually misnames, misdates, contradicts or bungles events. If there is a wealth of information in here it is difficult to believe - as her mistakes so overshadow the book it brings her academic credibility into question. - Anne Woodley, The Regency Collection.

Venetia MurrayCaveat Lector
The Jane Austen Handbook: A Sensible Yet Elegant Guide to Her World This book has several errors, for example in the sections on entails, Christmas and marriage law. It is not annotated, so it is impossible to check contemporary sources to verify the entries. Not recommended.

Margaret C. SullivanCaveat Lector
The Writer's Guide to Everyday Life in Regency and Victorian EnglandLike "What Jane Austen Ate and Charles Dickens Knew," this book fails to make a distinction between the Regency and Victorian periods.

Kristine HughesCaveat Lector
What Jane Austen Ate and Charles Dickens KnewThis book does not make a distinction between the Georgian/Regency and Victorian periods, so it is easy to mistakenly assume that a described custom is from our period when it is not. Not recommended as a resource for Jane Austen's L&T.
