\"\"<\/a>Hello Again!<\/p>\n

How is your month of Edwardian reading going? Have you found something that has grabbed your interest? If you’re still looking, maybe a movie would be the ticket – there are some gorgeous films set during this time period. Here are a few to consider:<\/p>\n

A Room With a View<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>– From the famous production team of Merchant and Ivory, this gorgeous film of love and romance stars Helen Bonham-Carter and Daniel Day-Lewis and is set in the idyllic Italian countryside.<\/p>\n

Howard’s End<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>– Another beautiful Merchant and Ivory production, starring Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins, brings the rigid rules of Edwardian society into sharp focus.<\/p>\n

Edwardian Farm<\/strong><\/em><\/a> – Find out how the other half lives when two archaeologists and a historian recreate farm life for a full year using practices from 1906 England. Fascinating!<\/p>\n

The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady<\/strong><\/em><\/a> – So beautiful! Filmed on location in England and Scotland, this drama follows artist Edith Holden through the changing seasons.<\/p>\n

Murdoch Mysteries<\/strong><\/em><\/a> – Follow Detective William Murdoch as he solves murder mysteries in Edwardian Toronto using the latest scientific methods.<\/p>\n

Parade’s End<\/strong><\/em><\/a> – From the end of the Edwardian era through World War I, this epic story of romance and betrayal stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall.<\/p>\n

Mary Poppins<\/strong><\/em><\/a> – For something much lighter and happier, you can’t go wrong with Mary Poppins. It’s magical and fun and surprisingly thoughtful. Don’t miss it.<\/p>\n

Miss Potter<\/strong><\/em><\/a> – The charming story of Beatrix Potter’s efforts to publish her first books and gain some measure of independence as a single woman in Edwardian England. Lovely and heartbreaking. Starring Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
