folksiism I thought you said you couldn't spell...
reference to today's W.A.D Thanks, Anna--you made me go look:
"She (Georgette Heyer) wanted to write more serious historical novels.
Unfortunately the books she wrote outside her period have a tendency
towards the gadzookery of Baroness Orczy."
The Romantic Novels of Georgette Heyer; BBC (London, UK); May 17, 2002.
And here I'd assumed she knew what she was talking about. (Actually, in all two books of hers that I've read, she may have; they certainly were not serious novels, just what the library happened to have on the shelf. I was just surprised to see a ref. to her use of obscure words, other than my own.)
