I love historical fiction in all of its (mostly trashy) glory. TV shows, movies, books, I can't get enough. I try to stay away from things that are blatantly, knowingly, wrong (*coughcoughReigncoughcough), but I have to say that my favorite part of consuming this type of media is finding out what is accurate and what is not in any given portrayal. It's a fun way for me to direct my ADD and learn at the same time. I've found numerous historical costuming blogs, but many do not cite sources and are therefore unreliable.
I know that I could probably ask questions here and receive detailed and informed answers, but I feel that I would be doing so often enough that it would quickly become tiresome for the contributors of this sub. So, anyone know of any blogs that tackle this sort of thing?
I read from this blog called TURN to a historian which analyzes the historical (in)accuracies of AMC's TURN: Washington's Spies. I highly reccomend reading from it.
