Tweet With An 18th Century Enthusiast

  • If I could create a creature out of thin air, the only factor being evil cuteness: the tube nosed fruit bat http://t.co/pKMI5wr9x4 10 hours ago
  • @acjenkin Thanks for the follow! Your field of C18 murderesses sounds fascinating! And I'd totally want to chat about it at a party :) 15 hours ago
  • @MmeGuillotine Anything pre C13 even C14 would be almost impossible. Guess we're lucky. At some point you'd just have to write in grunts! 15 hours ago
  • @MmeGuillotine I once read a French Rev novel in totally modern language. I almost couldn't handle it, even if it was intentional :) 15 hours ago
  • @MmeGuillotine Yes, no mid 19th century words in an 18th century work for me. I find authors have very different opinions on this though. 15 hours ago

A word

First: Second: Thanks for stopping by! I adore comments and try to reply to every one in a timely manner, although I do confess to unplugging on the weekend whenever I can. Do enjoy reading and if you have anything 18th century related to pass along, I'd love to hear about it.
