I've been considering rereading Georgette Heyer--it's been years, decades actually--but wasn't sure where to start or which books I would enjoy now. Luckily, MARI NESS and JO WALTON on Tor.com have done some of the investigative analysis for me.
With blog headlines like:
Cross-Dressing for Safety and Romance: The Masqueraders by Georgette Heyer,
Creating a World of Irony and Froth: The Convenient Marriage,
A Touch of Mystery with Derring-do: Georgette Heyer’s The Talisman Ring,
Creating a Sub-Genre by Accident: Georgette Heyer’s The Corinthian,
and A Dance of Witty Attraction: Frederica
I have a better idea of where I'd like to start. Plus the critiques are fun to read themselves.
