Talk:Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

message: Should not the article have a more extensive list on what people, places, events, etc. in the novel are actually real?  Maybe a subarticle?
In any event, for the record, the sale of the library of the Duke of Roxburghe which is an important plot element of Chapter 28 actually happened and Google Books has a contemporary document for it. 
Also Colquhoun Grant from Chapter 31 was real. His entry in Wikipedia mentions the novel, but there is no mention of him in the article for the novel.  Obviously many other examples could be cited. 68.97.13.204 (talk) 14:05, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree - giving links to the articles on various historical figures who appear in literary works is one of the things that Wikipedia can be great for. john k (talk) 15:22, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: We cannot list every character in the novel - there are far too many - the article would simply end up being a list. Awadewit (talk) 15:00, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not about listing every character in the novel, but listing real historical figures who appear in the novel.  john k (talk) 17:06, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

text: We use parts of this list (which is not exhaustive) in the "Genre" part of the article, where we integrate the information in a coherent way, explaining why the author references so many real people. Awadewit (talk) 16:17, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of real people and places 

message: I just read the book and I think the summary is misleading. I don't know the etiquette so I won't edit the text.
«At Strange's request, Flora moves with her family to Padua and secludes herself inside her home, along with a mirror given to her by Strange.» It was more like Strange asks Dr Greysteel to get rid of Flora. And the Dr stays with Strange.
Is Lyocell an alternative spelling of Lascelles?
«Strange returns and gives Childermass instructions which allow him to free Lady Pole from the fairy's enchantment. Strange, bringing "Eternal Night" with him, asks Norrell to help him undo Arabella's enchantment by summoning John Uskglass.» makes it look like Strange directly talked with Childermass, when it was by accident, since Drawlight was killed by Lascelles before he could deliver the 3 messages.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:646:4201:7930:AC36:9D87:FD3E:A440 (talk) 05:11, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the comment, the plot summary was recently trimmed down by a single editor who may have introduced some errors or misleading passages. Please feel free to make any adjustments you think necessary, I just corrected the Lascelles bit and unlinked Venice, which was linked like six times LOL.— TAnthonyTalk 14:46, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

message: Types of mythological or fantastic beings in contemporary fiction is a page of, well, fantasy works (movie, TV, written, whatever) and the assorted mythological and/or fantastic critters they contain.  This book would qualify.  Anyone care to add it? Tamtrible (talk) 18:36, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anyone more familiar with the book than I care to add it to this list?

message: The caption of the cover image suggests the book's first edition was released with variant covers. I'd like to see something brief about that in the article since it seems a bit unusual. I did a quick search and it looks like there were at least red and parchment-colored versions in addition to the black, but I didn't find any sources that talk about it.
