Research:
- Your Grandmother Is Lying (and Other Lessons of Historical Research: part 1, part 2 – how to find and evaluate sources.
Weird history:
- New scans of the Voynich manuscript now available – “… recent conservation work addressed folds and curls that had previously blocked some pages, and new scanning equipment made the color more accurate…”
- Long thought a fashion/bodyart myth, evidently Victorian nipple piercing was a thing (Part 1). Don’t miss part 2 and part 3 (upcoming). Images safe for work, language possibly not.
Fiction trends:
- Historical Fiction Authors Co-op published their second effort “A Year of Ravens” November 18. Kate Quinn provides a fun look at the “behind the scenes” writing process.
