Amiee Ali asked Elizabeth Hoyt:

Hi Mrs. Hoyt! :D I would like to know, what research did you do for the maiden lane series as it was set in the Georgian era….?

Elizabeth Hoyt Hi Alice!

I did lots of reading about Georgian England when first started writing--everything from histories to diaries. Now I read more specific-subject books. I just finished The Cambridge Companion to British Theatre 1730-1830 (edited by Jane Moody & Daniel O'Quinn) Next up will be Opera and Drama in Eighteenth-Century London by Ian Woodfield.

But I also like to do visual research: visiting museums, pinning photos on Pinterest, and looking at artwork. One of my favorite artists of this time period is William Hogarth. Here's the board I recently started for his artwork on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/elizabethho....
