If we applied the social mores of the time as they were, our heroines would be quite limited in what they could say and do publicly. Like any other genre, our stories are created to entertain. In reality, would Mrs. Marple really find herself involved in quite so many murders?\u00a0 Would Jason Bourne&#8217;s life be quite that exciting? Can a normal man really scale a thousand foot stone faced mountain with only his bare hands?<\/p>\n<p>Nope.<\/p>\n<p>So as writers we take fictional liberties when it comes to our characters. Historical romance writers <em>must<\/em> or else our heroines would be shackled with enough <em>politesse<\/em> to send readers into a dead coma. Our heroes would not be the enlightened gentlemen we expect today. They&#8217;d have to be men of their times, certainly not the husbands and fathers we&#8217;d wish them to be. Okay, so we forge outside those particular boundaries when it comes to characterization and other things like what would or not be a forgivable offense and what would certainly get someone a cut direct.<\/p>\n<p>However, I do expect a duchess never to be referred to as &#8216;My Lady&#8217;. Getting the titles correct is a MUST. Screw that up and not only have you jolted me right out of the story but I&#8217;m so far gone, I&#8217;ll more than likely put it down never to pick it up again.<\/p>\n<p>Research. Research.<\/p>\n<p>I also want you to get the clothing of the time correct. I should not be seeing empire waist gowns in the mid to late Victorian era story when women were wearing those cumbersome cages and a plethora of petticoats.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>But then there are places I want you to fudge.<\/strong><\/em> Please, please fudge the facts about the hair. No pomade please, for the gentlemen or the women. Although this would be historically correct, I cringe at the though of either my hero or heroine having to plow their poor fingers through that madness.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t necessarily have to know that much of London smells like horse manure and the sewer. It&#8217;s really okay if that&#8217;s left out unless it&#8217;s required for the story&#8211;you know to give it that <em>eau de manure<\/em> flavor. And despite what I know of the personal hygiene of many or most in that era, I would like it if both my hero and heroine bathed everyday. Call it a quirk of mine but if they&#8217;re not bathing, let me know it&#8217;s not for the lack of want or will.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, since most British women (Western women in general) did not start shaving their legs, under their arms and their unmentionables until early in the 20th century, not mentioning hair in these areas is fine with me. I&#8217;d rather it that way than if the author somehow indicates that the heroine <strong><em>is<\/em><\/strong> in fact shaven because that will just pull me out of the story.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Okay, so those are some of the historical true life details I don&#8217;t particularly want to read in my romances. What about you? Do you have any?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>And since I referenced Jason Bourne of <em><strong>Robert Ludlum&#8217;s<\/strong> Bourne <\/em>series, how about I give away something similar but, of course, historical-style?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Comment and enter to win the final book in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stephanielaurens.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Stephanie Lauren&#8217;s<\/em><\/a> <em>The Black Cobra Quartet<\/em>, <span style=\"color: #800000;\">THE RECKLESS BRIDE.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stephanielaurens.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5064\" title=\"recklessbride\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/recklessbride.jpg?resize=220%2C355\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"355\" \/><\/a><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"375\" height=\"226\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/fPEn3lBoLAs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-5063\" data-postid=\"5063\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-5063 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The drawbacks of complete historical accuracy I&#8217;m afraid, if one was to write a historical correct romance, it would not be as entertaining as the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[79,27],"tags":[183,248,307],"class_list":["post-5063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-avon-books","category-giveaways","tag-avon","tag-editorial","tag-historicals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
