a book series that makes use of "anachronistic" language in a way that really feels organic for the period, IMO, is Piratica by Tanith Lee

set in an explicitly alternate universe c. 1810, the first book managed to include the sentence "Well, groovy, thou art a klutz," and make it sound 100% Golden Age of PiracyTM. even though the author used words from wildly different eras, she captured the cadence of 18th/early 19th century working-class/criminal slang so well that I literally just had to look up whether "groovy" was an older word than I previously thought

god those books were so good. I should reread them

#piratica #historical fiction #alternate history #the worldbuilding was also really cool despite some Not Like Other GirlsTM #(England had the French Revolution instead of France basically. except it stayed a republic for good rather than getting an emperor)#biggest and best First Act Plot Twist of any series

What’s Piratica??

It was a book series by Tanith Lee I read in Junior High and it always stuck with me. I remember the first 2 books. I don't remember finishing it. I should one of these days. But it was about a young pirate woman and I remember the villain in one of the books being a cool pirate queen character and I loved her. Anyways that post that I mentioned it in the tags just made me think of it!
