REFERENCES
This reference list captures the web of influences that shaped this project. Decades of creative work have made certain aesthetics second nature to me, guiding the selection and curation of AI-produced imagery into brands, features, and stories that bring this version of the Regency era to life. Here, you’ll find links to historians, institutions, and contemporary creatives who have all informed the vision of Pride and Prejudice, Novel Magazine.
For those curious about Jane Austen’s work and the actual Regency world, rather than the hybrid version I have curated, I recommend spending some time on the blogs and the museum and institution websites.
The AI's References
"As for the AI, it generates without providing a visible trail, leaving us to question its influences. You might expect AI companies could supply a list of references for each image produced. But they cannot, perhaps because if they did, it would run to hundreds of pages, a window into an alien process for our human brains to unpick. For now, the AI’s creative journey is secret, an intelligence that generates without revealing its sources."
