Carême in Brighton Appendices:

Acknowledgements

 

I warmly acknowledge the general support my work garners on the literary website gayauthors.org, but would like to thank the following site members for their individual help with this project.

First, to Parker Owens for editing and beta-reading Carême in Brighton, I owe tremendous thanks. His insight has been invaluable.

In addition, for their equally insightful beta-reading of the novel, my warm thanks go to Cole Matthews and Defiance19.

For their respective language and cultural skills, I extend my gratitude to Colochette (for French matters in the book) and to D. K. Daniels (for all things Irish). Both have been remarkably generous with me by sharing their time and knowledge.

Needless to say, any errors remaining in the novel are entirely mine. This includes the misstatement of time concerning when John Nash’s masterplan of London was drawn up. I present the renovation of the city as not being under way by 1817, which it most certainly was. This is intentional, so I might have excuse to introduce how intimate a friend Philip Hardwick was to the Good Doctor. And the scene I wrote with this architect passing along the notion of how the development of the future Regent’s Park, and its huge revenue stream to George, could have occurred in similar, private get-togethers.

I would also like to say that this project has been on my mind for a long time, revisiting me from time to time with the possibilities of differing forms and content. In the shape is has assumed over the course of the nearly four years it has taken me to write it, two biographies offered important information.

Messrs. Bridge and Cooper English’s Dr. William Kitchiner, Regency Eccentric (see “for Further Reading” above) provided the clues to follow up on what being a religious outcast in Regency England must have been like. I had never encountered reports of the religion-based mob murders known as “Gordon’s Riot” before reading the authors’ account of it. And they also show how this pro-Anglican Church violence touched the young William Kitchiner directly as a child. (Nowadays we’d call this a “race massacre,” but in the centre of 1780s London, the looting and lynchings were directed at members of the outlawed and benighted Catholic minority.)

In addition, although the best biographical material on the life and times of Antonin Carême remain entirely French, Ian Kelley’s 2004 Cooking for Kings (see “for Further Reading” above) offers something none of the French sources I’ve read do: a detailed review of the ledger books from the Pavilion for the time Carême was working there. Although seemingly dry, the numbers Kelly quotes – and the below-stairs goings-on hinted at in these authentic accounts – have provided the sure ground from which my fiction was launched.

And, as for you, dear reader, as you come to the end of Carême in Brighton, I express gratitude for your forbearance and look forward to your reading of more of my work. Thank you.
