Hannah Snell, eighteenth-century ‘sexual impostor’, is one of this week’s featured lives at the ODNB (free access for the next few days only).
Mary, Lady Dering, seventeenth-century composer, is also featured.
Early Modern Notes
early modern crime, women, digital history…
Snell’s story has been republished in a facsimile edition. I can’t remember the publisher details.
I was quite pleased for old Charlie boy but you’re right, it shouldn’t have overshadowed the news the way it has.
I’ll look out for it!
My fav. pastime lately is to do full text searches in DNB for “tiger” “india” “male”. The stories you get.
I think you should blog some of them. Go on go on go on.
back away, o temptress one. i have a missing conclusion to my paper presentation, due in 10 scant hours.
OK. You got 10 hours before I come over to your place and demand man-eating tigers.
