History and Sources

When the story isn't enough, you can find some links for historical stuff here.
The War of 1812
The Regency Period in England

Music of the Times

I'm a musician, therefore I require music! Although some of my favourite pieces had not yet been composed at the time in which I set many of my novels, there is still a wealth of music to delight the ears. Concert-goers in the Regency period might have heard some of the following pieces.
Josef Haydn - Surprise Symphony
W.A. Mozart - Queen of the Night's Aria from Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) K. 620
Ludwig van Beethoven - String Quartet Op.18 no.1
