I have greatly enjoyed reading your blog, which has great information and is well-written. I hope that my own blog, Write Life by A Lady, can aspire to be as authoritative, though I am yet to be published. Miguelina Perez and I are finishing our first collaborative mystery-romance novel set in the Regency Period, and authors like you are a real inspiration!
Thank you for your kind words, Pamela. I shall endeavor to stop by your blog when I return from my book signings. Let me know if I may be of assistance in any way.
I have nominated you for the Liebster Award! I hope you will accept it! Check out the details on my blog.
As I am on the road promoting two different books, I will decline at this time. Thanks for thinking of me, though.
Of course I fully understand! Just know that you were nominated by me because I always enjoy your posts! š
I TRULY appreciate the gesture. I have been wanting time to respond to several offers for guest blogs, etc. I just can’t seem to get my act together. I come home on Monday, repack the car, do my radiation treatments, and am out again by week’s end. I knew it would be hectic so I purposely completed all my blog posts up through June 20 when things will hopefully calm down.
I hope so to! Good luck!
I hope so too! Good luck with everything..!
Thankyou for your September post about James Pratt, John Smith and William Bonill. I became fascinated with their sad story a few months ago and, since I am in London, I went to the spot where Bonill lived, not far from Blackfriars Bridge. The street where he lived doesn’t exist anymore, but there was an old pub nearby and I half wondered whether that was where he fetched his jug of ale. I did some research and found that Bonill was transported to Tasmania (or Van Diemen’s Land as it was then known) as a convict after the deaths of Pratt and Smith and he died in the New Norfolk Hospital there in 1841, only a few years after the other men.
I did not know Bonill was transported. I learned something new today. Thanks for joining us.
I stumbled across your blog because I was looking for other bloggers who write about male vs female perspectives — but you take it to a whole new level dissecting characters! Very interesting topics! š

Hi Regina: A search of a brief article at Grinnell about entail brought up your blog. I can’t find the article in which you mention this quote: “Another detail of the law was that entails were periodically renewable and even breakable with the consent of an heir who had come of age.” I am very curious to know if you’ve seen anything else on the issue of breaking entail with the consent of the heir? I’ve searched everything I can find, and there is nothing. Thanks for a great blog!
Do you need the actual quote or the idea of breaking entails included within it?
The idea originally came from Persuasions, which is the magazine that chronicles the AGM conference of the Jane Austen Society of America (JASNA). This link will take you to a page on the JASNA website with articles that deal with entails. http://www.jasna.org/search/?Search=entail&action_doSearch=Go

Look at “Fee Tail,” not “Entail.” Also, research “primogeniture.”

You are awesome, Regina! I was hoping there was a more comprehensive article available on the Grinnell site but you actually sent me something better. One of the articles you listed discusses exactly what I need: common recovery. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I have been working on a non-fiction piece on “primogeniture” for some time now. I have books scattered all over my house on the subject of entails and inheritance. I am glad you found something that would meet your needs.
