Contractions in historical fiction

I did some analysis of the use of contractions in The Flight of the Heron, a historical novel written in the 1920s and set in the 1740s, including some comparisons with other books written in both those periods. The results may be of interest in terms of what we mean by 'period style' in historical fiction!
