The aim of the Excessively Diverting Blog Award is to acknowledge writing excellence in the spirit of Jane Austen’s genius in amusing and delighting readers with her irony, humour, wit and talent for keen observation. Recipients will uphold the highest standards in the art of the sparkling banter, witty repartee, and gentle reprove. This award was created by the blogging team of Jane Austen Today to acknowledge superior writing over the Internet and promote Jane Austen’s brilliance.
It was great that Viola at Royal Rendezvous nominated me for this award! Here are my nominees:
An Edwardian State of Mind. Clare is a woman, she was raised in England and Australia, she writes beautifully and Edwardian topics are always fascinating. These four factors alone make the blog worthwhile. http://edwardianstateofmind.blogspot.com/
Victorian History. Bruce writes one of my favourite blogs because the quality of the writing is top notch. Several times I have used his material as a springboard, then gone on to read more about the topic. http://vichist.blogspot.com/
The Earthly Paradise. Margaret is a historian with a passion for art and literature. A woman after my own heart. She writes about the art of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, romantic literature and other wonderful stuff. http://www.theearthlyparadise.com/

Van Gogh's Chair Sheramy combines art history, travel, popular culture and, her favourite, Van Gogh. Being an art historian, I need the objects to be displayed. But her text is super too. http://vangoghschair.blogspot.com/
The Yorkist Age Brian writes on material outside my area of expertise so I love the challenge of his posts. http://yorkistage.blogspot.com/

ReplyDeleteThanks very much!
Will be over shortly to collect it.
(First time I've ever won something - must be down to going to church on Sunday, God is probably still in shock.)

It is with great pleasure that this blog announces that it has been nominated for The Excessively Diverting Blog Award. The nomination came from Helen Webberley, blogmatresse of ART and ARCHITECTURE, mainly. Please forgive us this little "ego" trip, but we are touched and honoured by this recognition from one of our peers and want to share it with our readers.
Hels added:
I have traced back through the award winners and found a distinct pattern. Readers apparently want to read intelligent blogs on history, art, music or literature. The award winners were not 17 year olds, moaning about their tragic love lives - rather they seemed to be mature people reflecting on fascinating world issues.
Thanks Hels! I appreciate the nomination for An Edwardian State of Mind. Cheers
ReplyDeleteI am very grateful to be nominated for this award..it is bound to increase my influence at Court.
