Reading Diary: The Elegant Edwardian
Posted: Sunday, August 16, 2009 ~ 10:57 AM
This weekend I finished The Elegant Edwardian (1957), by Ursula Bloom. Another of our serendipitous finds from the now-defunct SIS Cataloging Lab, Bloom provides "a light social history of Edwardian times, as seems from a small country village in Warwickshire." An interesting and pleasant read, even though the story does focus primarily on her father, Harvey Bloom, who was the rector of the village during this time.
