Writing 19th century upperclass English dialog?

Question

I was recently rereading bits of Pride and Prejudice and the dialog is absolutely brilliant. How can I learn to write dialog that sounds like it is from this general era? For example are there any lists of words that I should try to substitute or differences in the grammatical constructs used?

Answer 1

The best way to learn and master 19thC dialogue is to immerse yourself in 19thC novels. After you devote yourself to reading relentlessly, you'll catch on.
