Tweet With An 18th Century Enthusiast

@acjenkin Thanks for the follow! Your field of C18 murderesses sounds fascinating! And I'd totally want to chat about it at a party :) 2 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! 2 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 :) 2 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. 2 hours ago
@MmeGuillotine I admit to cheating if the date is close, but then I keep thinking about how much of a stickler I should be. Such a dilemma! 2 hours ago

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.
