Gilded Age Literature: Edith Whartonās The Age of InnocenceĀ Readathon
Julian Fellowesās new period drama, The Gilded Age, premieres on HBO/HBO Max on January 24, 2022. Itās been quite a while since Iāve revisted the works of Edith Wharton. I stumbled upon a copy of The House of Mirth at 18 and was hookedāI reread it once a year for the next ten years. Later, The Custom of the Country battled for the title of my favorite Wharton novel, with The Glimpses of the Moonā¦

PERIOD DRAMA ALERT: PassingĀ (2021)
It seems fitting that the lead up to the 100th year celebrations of the Harlem Renaissance (more accurately known as the Negro Renaissanceāmore on that soon on EP) begins with an adaptation of the one of defining novels of the period: Nella Larsenās Passing. Published by Knopf in 1929, Larsenās second and final novel follows the interactions of two childhood friends, Irene Redfield and Clareā¦

Premiering on Sunday, January 17 at 8/7c When headstrong Eliza Scarlet is left penniless after the death of her father, she has two choices for financial security: marriage or her fatherās private detective agency.

Though African American performers dazzled British society and its royals since the days of Walker and Williams(who brought their minstrel revues to English shores in the early 1900s), and performers like Aida Overton Walker, Sissieretta Jones, and others were viewed as the epitome of Black glamourāthere was something different about Florenceā¦

Edwardian Promenade: Black LivesĀ Matter
Dear Readers,
Iām in the process of revamping Edwardian Promenade to be more intentionally inclusive and multicultural. When I started this blog back in 2007, I was a budding history geek who was excited by the enormous changes and innovations of the early 20th century. This blog was literally a brain dump of interesting facts I discovered in books, magazines, and documentaries.

A Decade of Downton Abbey
Anyone who knows me well knows that I do not like movie theaters. Not because of any hygienic issues but because I never feel like I can relax in my seat like I can wrapped up in a blanket at home, with my inexpensivesnacks and drinks at hand. And so, alas, even the Downton Abbey movie couldnāt pry me from my prejudice! But renting the digital copy proved a comfort in this time of corona, and Iā¦

Welcome to the Roaring Twenties (Redux?)
When the clock struck midnight on January 1, 1920 everyone awoke from the spell cast by the Great War and the Spanish Flu to a world changedāand yet not. Common perceptions peg the 1920s as one long party, where things considered āmodernā emerged. If you comb through Edwardian Promenadeās archives youāll see the presence of modernism in the pre-war period; furthermore, great anxieties lingeredā¦

Dressing for an Edwardian Pandemic: The Spanish Flu of 1918
As the influenza pandemic, known colloquially as āla grippeā or the Spanish Flu, spread across the globe, governments and health officials immediately began to call for the use of masks as a solution to keep more people from getting sick.
Soon, the streets were filled with people wearing these gauze masks, much to the tut-tutting of The Haberdasher, a San Francisco-based menās clothingā¦

Queen Alexandra, ca 1877
From the earliest days of her arrival to England as the beautiful, vivacious Danish princess come to wed the Prince of Wales, Alexandra set the fashion trends of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras.
