*This New York Times review has provided us with a new life motto.
*Learn more about the real Ivor Novello, “the much-better-looking Andrew Lloyd Webber of his day.”
*Read up on contemporary investigations into war profiteering (but without Laura’s 1930s radio announcer voice).
*We cited this Lucy Worsley book and highly recommend it. Lucy is the co-chief curator of Historic Royal Palaces, and her Instagram is a hoot and a half. We also recommend this book if you’re interested in the British country house system.

Season 2, Episode 1: "Gettysburg" (1993) – Costume Drama Rewind
We're back from our summer break and kicking off our second season with "Gettysburg," the 1993 war epic, directed by Ron Maxwell and starring Jeff Daniels, Martin Sheen, Tom Berenger, Kevin Conway, and Stephen Lang. Instead of just walking you through each part of the battle, in this episode, we're here to provide some context for what happened during these three days, what the stakes were for the Union and the Confederacy, and what the result meant for the American Civil War going forward.*Despite what "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" may have told you, there appear to have been no actual vampires in the Battle of Gettysburg.
